Description of the Jade

Mineral class: phyllosilicates.
Chemical formula: NaAl [Si2O6] + Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn

Jade is an ornamental stone and not really a mineral, but rather a set of particular silicate minerals ( jadeite and nephrite ) distributed in a structure made of very fine grains and intertwined fibers.

The color is rarely uniform: on a white or white-gray background, slight shades of pink, lavender, violet or more often emerald green or light green are mixed up due to the presence of chromium .

On the market today there are other minerals sold under the denomination of jade, such as serpentine , which not only looks the same, but is also extracted from the same deposits as jadeite and nephrite, although it is more malleable and less resistant.

Element

Water : the water element concerns the sphere of emotions and femininity (love, healing, compassion, reconciliation, intuition).

Chakra connected to Jade

Second chakra Svadhishthana (“Abdomen”) and fourth chakra Anahata (“Heart”)

Mythology

The name “jade” derives from the Spanish pedra de ijada , meaning “stone of the hips” , given its traditional beneficial power on the loins and kidneys, and dates back to the time of the Spanish conquest of Central America, where this stone was very appreciated and finely worked.

In ancient China it was a sacred stone used to make urns as it was believed to have the power to prevent corrosion and drive away evil spirits. In traditional Chinese literature, gold and jade are often mentioned together and are considered symbols of wealth . Even today, the price of good quality jade is worth no less than a piece of gold of the same weight.

Confucius (551-479 BC) states that jade has eleven virtues , including benevolence (it is sweet and shiny to the touch), fidelity (it never irritates the skin), education and sincerity (a flaw in jade not never hides). Confucian culture further preached that a man must define his manners and conduct in accordance with the virtues of jade.
