Jade: Stone of Harmony, Luck & Timeless Wisdom

Jade is the national stone of Japan and a revered symbol of prosperity, protection, and emotional harmony across many cultures. The term “jade” refers to two distinct silicate minerals: nephrite, a calcium-magnesium silicate typically found in green, white, yellow, or black hues; and jadeite, a sodium-aluminum silicate that ranges from nearly colorless to vibrant shades of green, lavender, yellow, orange, brown, black, and—on rare occasions—blue. Jade is found in regions across the globe, including Myanmar, China, Russia, New Zealand, and the United States.

Spiritually, Jade is a stone of serenity and abundance. It harmonizes the heart, attracts good fortune, and encourages wise, compassionate decision-making. It’s deeply connected to the Heart Chakra, helping individuals cultivate trust, emotional balance, and a deeper understanding of love. Jade is also known to dispel negativity and promote a sense of calm, making it a powerful ally for those seeking both inner peace and external prosperity.

History & Cultural Significance

Jade has been treasured for millennia, especially in East Asian cultures. In China, jade was used as early as 4000 B.C. and became central to Neolithic rituals around 3000 B.C. The Chinese revered nephrite jade as the “imperial gem,” valuing it more than gold. It adorned burial suits, ceremonial tools, jewelry, and everyday objects like paintbrushes and eating utensils. The Chinese character yù represents the many varieties of jade and reflects its cultural importance.

In Japan, jade dates back to the Jomon period around 5000 B.C. It symbolized wealth, fertility, and spiritual power. Green jade was especially revered for its connection to nature and its believed ability to enhance fertility. Ritual use by leaders and shamans was common, and jade remains a cultural treasure in Japanese tradition.

Other cultures across the globe have also held jade in high esteem. From the Americas to Europe, jade has been associated with luck, health, wealth, and spiritual protection, often worn as a talisman to attract abundance and ward off harm.

Proper Care & Cleansing

To care for Jade, gently clean it with warm, soapy water and a soft brush. Avoid prolonged soaking, as both nephrite and jadeite are sensitive to water exposure. Recharge Jade under full moonlight, especially for emotional or abundance work. For energetic cleansing, you can:

• Use smoke (sage, palo santo)

• Place near or on selenite

• Breathe your intentions or emotional release into the stone by holding it in your palm and exhaling onto it

• Wrap in cloth and bury for one week to reconnect it with Earth energy
