What is Jade?

Jade is a powerful crystal that has been revered all over the world for centuries. The ancient tribes of the British Isles used it for weapons, and in the pre-colonial Americas, Jade featured prominently in religious ceremonies. China’s love affair with this stone is well-known, and Chinese art and medicine have long celebrated Jade’s beauty and healing powers. 

The term “Jade” refers to two different minerals: Nephrite and Jadeite. Both share a distinctive green color and carry the same healing, metaphysical, and spiritual properties. Nephrite is a form of Calcium Magnesium Silicate, and Jadeite is a rarer and more expensive variety of Sodium Aluminum Silicate. In its translucent and emerald-colored form, Jadeite is known as “Imperial Jade,” the most highly prized Jade stone. To tell whether your Jade stone is Nephrite or Jadeite, tap it with a hard object; Nephrite will chime like a musical instrument, but Jadeite will not. 

Seventh century philosopher Khivan Ghung believed that Jade was the physical expression of the nine human virtues: Benevolence, Knowledge, Righteousness, Charity, Purity, Endurance, Ingenuity, Morality, and Musicality. These qualities meant that Jade was a stone blessed by the divine. Modern crystal healers and collectors value Jade for its calming, nurturing, and abundance properties.

Jade and The Archangels

Both the Archangel of Protection and Archangel of Healing stand before you now with their arms extended in offering a deep soul healing. Jade is an instantly protective stone with a similar instant feeling of safety that is offered by Archangel Michael. Jade is also the healer! Offering you a deep cleanse of what no longer serves you. Jade is the stone of purity - meaning free of toxin. It is time for you to release what no longer serves to make room for the blessings of the abundant universe.
