Green jade is a unique mineral. It surpasses granite in hardness, and in beauty it is not inferior to other gems. People even learned to extract music from him. But the most important thing is powerful energy and unique magical properties. What is the use of jade for humans? Who is he suitable for?
The origin of the stone: legend and scientific fact
According to ancient Chinese legend, jade was sent by the gods as a thank you to the pious and fair emperor. For three consecutive days, jade rain did not stop. When the "rain" passed, the emperor was the first to enter the street. Touching the stones, he gained knowledge on their use. Since then, the hieroglyphs denoting "emperor" and "jade" are written almost the same way.
The version of scientists regarding the origin of jade is more prosaic. Geologists argue that the formation of the mineral is the promotion of underground magma, which permeates other rocks.
Varieties of stone
Specialists distinguish several types of stone. Namely:
- Imperial jade is the most expensive stone, which is considered the standard among jades. It has a rich and bright emerald color without impurities of gray.
- Kingfisher is another jade with a clear green tone, but slightly paler than the imperial jade.
- Apple - a stone of a dense yellow-green hue.
- Moss in the snow - a stone with a white base, along which numerous green veins intertwine.
It is worth noting that the healing and magical properties of jade are the same for all varieties.

When does a stone not work?
If you want to buy earrings, a necklace or a jade bracelet, discard the gold jewelry. This metal completely neutralizes the properties of the stone. Yes, the combination of jade with gold looks impressive, but no more. Such jewelry will have neither healing nor magical properties.
And jade "does not like" dirt. This applies not only to physical pollution (for example, dust), but also to energy pollution (bad thoughts, bad mood). A dirty stone does not work. To maintain its energy activity, rinse once a month in cold water.
Not for children
Jade jewelry or talismans are strictly prohibited for young children to wear. The stone connects the soul of the child with the energy of the Earth. Thus, the Earth begins to draw vitality from a small person. First, the child's mood deteriorates, he ceases to rejoice and have fun, and then begins to lose weight, weaken and often get sick.
By the way, adults also need to be careful and not wear a stone on their body for more than seven hours in a row.
How to distinguish an original from a fake
And jewelers, and occultists, and traditional healers, green jade is very much appreciated. The stone is quite expensive, but because it is often faked. Therefore, it is important to know how to distinguish the original:
- Jade is very durable and resistant to mechanical stress. If you try to scratch a stone with a pin, the needle will simply slip off without leaving a mark. Even if you forcefully throw the product on the floor, the jade will remain unscathed.
- Jade conducts heat poorly. If you hold the stone tight in your fist for a while, it will not heat up. But if the mineral is heated for a long time in hot water or on a heating device, then it will maintain a high temperature for up to several hours.
- Jade is a "musical" mineral. If you knock pebbles against each other, you will hear a very beautiful pleasant sound. If the knock is deaf, then you are holding a fake.
- Bring the pebble to the light source and look carefully. Firstly, it should transmit rays, and secondly, inside you should see a dense interweaving of fibers. If the stone does not let in light or its texture inside is homogeneous, it is a fake.
- Natural jade has very clear color transitions, while fakes have blurry borders.
- If you hold the jade over the flame of a candle or lighter, black smoke will start to stand out, and soot will remain on the stone itself, which is easily erased. A fake, of course, will melt and deteriorate.
- Jade shine is calm, matte. He does not glare. The exception is the imperial jade, which is distinguished by an expressive glass gloss.
Even if the pebble has passed the check by all indications, be sure to ask the seller for a certificate confirming that you have natural jade in your hands.
