It gives happiness in the family and in work, helps you to see the latter no longer as an obligation but as a way of expressing yourself and, if yours was the wrong way, to adjust the course.
Symbolism and Meaning
The term “jade” is inextricably linked to Chinese civilization. For about forty centuries the Chinese have given this splendid stone an inestimable value, and have bestowed it with a real cult. Paradoxically, this mineral does not exist in ancient China properly so-called, and it has always been imported, almost entirely, from the southwestern part of Turkestan, now Xinjiang.
Let us first specify what we mean by jade. The one that is currently worked by the Far Eastern lapidaries (bracelets, jewelry, figurines …) is actually serpentine, the one that the Chinese call “yu matto” or false jade. This modern surrogate has a coefficient of hardness two times lower than that of jadeite, and it scratches with a blade; also worth ten times less!
Moreover, the jadeite itself, also defined by the term jade, does not have the aura and prestige of the nephrite which is the only one to have the right to be called “zhen yu”, true jade.
Only this variety was treated and processed in ancient China, carried with enormous expense by Xinjiang. The jadeite, imported from Burma, made its appearance in China only starting from the 1730s. Up to this date, therefore, the objects that are defined as jade are, more precisely, nephrite.
Among the much appreciated whitish hues, we mention the one called “sheep fat”, due to its appearance. These nephritis with a slightly oily shine, are velvety to the touch, extremely soft and cold at the same time. Because, for the Chinese, jades should be caressed and listened by making them rattle – and not just admire them. Therefore sight, hearing and touch are involved.
Of a decidedly similar appearance, the Burmese jadeites appeared belatedly (early 18th century, as we have said). They are distinguished by their coefficient of hardness (slightly lower), the different specific weight, the greater luster and better color uniformity. Of crystalline structure (based on sodium silicate and aluminum), jadeites are more translucent and their range, less extensive, is limited to some greens; the bright green is called “imperial green”. Apple green and emerald green are often used in contemporary jewelry.
For about 45 centuries, since the end of the Neolithic, the center of production of the nephritis has been located in Central Asia, in the regions of Yarkand and Kashgar, above all of Khotan, an oasis that represented a well ninth stage on the southern branch of the Silk Road , southwest of the Taklaman desert. There, on the slopes of the Kunlun Mountains (Kunlun Shan), in the riverbed of two almost parallel and then confluent rivers, the black jade pebbles are sought, along the Karakax River, and those of white jade, in the Yurungkax River bed, plus East.
General Properties
The jade stone has a monoclinic crystalline system (just like the selenite). Therefore it is strongly recommend to use it in crystal therapy sessions or wear it if you sometimes let yourself be carried away by emotions more than you should.
Maybe you are particularly anxious people and you are afraid to make long-term plans, a little for fear of not succeeding, partly because you don’t have the constancy to commit yourself.
On the other hand, however, it strengthens your attachment to the present. It helps you to keep your attention on the HERE and NOW but in a much more conscious way, with the vision that every moment well employed, can help you build something good for your life.
Love and Relationships
Even the Aztecs and the Mayans of Central America estimated Jade higher than gold even in pre-Columbian times. They worshiped the stone as a stone of love, which can transform friendship into intimate love. Even in ancient Egypt, jade was used and revered as the stone of love, the guardian of inner peace, harmony and balance.
The Maoris carved in the old tradition cult equipment and weapons from New Zealand jade. Even today, Jade is worshiped and used as a dream stone, as it is said to convey to its wearer the ability of dream interpretation. In the Arab world Jade is also honored as a protective stone.
In the form of the symbol of fortune, the scarab ground there, it should keep all evil away from the body.
Health Benefits
In China and South America, it is believed that Jade is good for gaining health, success and a long life in harmony with nature. Also, because of this alleged importance, jade in ancient China was more expensive than gold. A life without a jewel of jade is still unthinkable in large parts of the Chinese population today. Jade is intended to convey the feeling of balance and bring harmony, beauty and happiness into the consciousness of the wearer. The value of the jade is therefore not measured purely in terms of its material value. Above all, their healing effect is in the foreground.
Furthermore, jadeite has a firm place in astrology.
