Jade: The Ancient Whisper of Harmonious Elegance for the Soulful Seeker
Beloved souls of balance and beauty, let's journey into the timeless embrace of Jade—a gemstone that embodies millennia of reverence, captures the essence of harmonious living, and resonates with the whispers of ancient wisdom. For the spiritually awakened woman, Jade is not just a stone; it's a symbol of grace, a testament to balance, and an invitation to align with life's profound rhythms, embodying wellness, prosperity, and benevolent love.
Chemical Composition:
The term 'Jade' beautifully represents two distinct minerals: Jadeite (NaAlSi2O6NaAlSi2O6) and Nephrite (Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2). These minerals, though different in composition, share similar characteristics and are both cherished as Jade in various cultures.
Hardness:
Mirroring the enduring spirit of the civilizations that revered it, Jade ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale for Jadeite, while Nephrite ranges from 6 to 6.5. It's a symbol of resilience and timeless beauty.
Occurrence (in which countries):
The elegant touch of Jade is felt across continents. Historically significant deposits can be found in China and Myanmar (for Jadeite). Other regions with a bounty of Jade include Russia, New Zealand, and parts of the USA and Canada (mainly for Nephrite).
Colour:
Jade is a dance of nature's palette. While it's most famously known for its iconic shades of green, it can also delight with whites, pinks, purples, and even blues. Each hue tells a tale of nature's benevolence, balance, and beauty.

In Central America, the Olmec and Maya civilizations regarded Jade as a symbol of royalty, wellness, and the cosmos.
Its uses:
Today, Jade's timeless beauty makes it a treasured choice for jewellery, gracing the world with necklaces, rings, and pendants. Beyond jewellery, Jade has been used for ornamental carvings, religious artifacts, and even as a tool in traditional health practices, like the famed Gua Sha massage.
