Jade Crystal

What is Jade Crystal?

Jade comes in two forms that are comprised of two distinct minerals: Nephrite and Jadeite.

While both are extremely tough stones, among the most difficult to break, each has its own composition, density, and crystalline structure.

Nephrite is an example of a calcium magnesium silicate, while Jadeite is an example of a sodium aluminum silicate.

Both Nephrite and Jadeite occur in a variety of colors, especially in the universally recognized shades of olive that we have come to call Jade green.

Nephrite commonly occurs in a range of colors from mid-to-deep olive green, to deeper shades like brown and black.

Jadeite is likely to range in color from a grayish white, to blue-green, in addition to Jade green.

Harder, more lustrous and rarer than Nephrite, emerald green Jadeite is often translucent and usually more expensive.

Known as Imperial Jade, this translucent form of Jadeite is likely to contain colored traces of chromium which make it even rarer and valuable.

Jade Crystal Meaning

jadeReverence for Jade is so widespread that many historians believe that it goes far back in history, perhaps as early as 6,000 years ago.

Ancient and archaic people around the globe are known to have regarded Jade Crystal as an important, healing stone for millennia.

Known for its toughness, ancient people in the British Isles polished and sharpened Jade into axe heads, knives, and other weapons and tools.

In ancient Mexico and Central America, deity masks and other ritual artifacts were carved from Jade and cast into wells and bodies of water as offerings to the deities.

In China, Jade has been held in high esteem, valued for its great beauty, durability, as well as its healing and restorative powers.

In all of its forms, Jade has represented royalty and nobility, both in terms of social rank, as well as in terms of cultural ideals.

Wearing Jade jewelry or carrying a Jade talisman has offered people the best protection possible against harmful entities and deceitful spirits.

This is why you find so many Jade crystals, vessels, incense burners, statues, and beads at burial sites and spiritual centers around the world.

Jade Crystal Meditation

Green Jade is particularly helpful in terms of our meditation practice, which is why malas, rosaries, and other prayer beads are often made from this rare and powerful stone.

Jade Prayer Beads

To meditate with prayer beads, it is best to recite a mantra or affirmation.

To do this, finger the beads one at a time for each recitation of the mantra or affirmation.

The mantra of affirmation that you choose is completely up to you, but it should be something that is uplifting or inspiring.

Something like ‘May all beings be happy,’ or ‘May all beings be at peace’ is perfect.

Upon each recitation, advance one bead until you have gone all the way around the mala of necklace.

This type of Jade bead recitation will bring on profound states of peace.

Black Jade

Black Jade is an excellent aid for those who are doing advanced shamanic work like soul retrieval or shamanic journeying to the other world.

Not only does Black Jade help us focus on our meditation, it call provides us protection as we journey into deep states of higher consciousness.

Blue Jade

Blue Jade, the dream crystal, arouses inner vision, opening us up to profound dream states and visions.

Blue Jade also enhances our ability to focus during meditation, allowing us to become more focused and able to maintain awareness during states of altered consciousness.

Lavender Jade

Lavender Jade is perfect for Zen practitioners and those who are seeking states of deep stillness.

By helping us find deep inner peace and tranquility, Lavender Jade helps us cultivate and attend the internal space of ‘no thought.’

Purple Jade

Another excellent aid for shamanic journeying, Purple Jade helps us receive information and remember it when we enter deep trance states.

Purple Jade can also be helpful for those who are seeking to enhance dream recall, lucid dreaming, and powers of dream interpretation.

Jade Crystal Birthstone

Jade is not a traditional birthstone.

Jade Crystal Zodiac Sign

Jade is traditionally known as the Zodiac Stone of the sign of Taurus, for those of us born between April 20 and May 20.

Taurus is symbolized by the bull, with characteristics like strength and stability, ruled by the planet of love Venus, which also rules the sign of Libra.

Taureans are practical and down to Earth, known for being realistic but stubborn or ‘bullish.’

Jade can help Taureans balance their emotions, keeping their famous tempers in control.

Jade is also associated with the sign of Libra, which is assigned to those who were born between September 23 and October 22, the middle of the harvest season.

Libra is symbolized by The Balance and during this time of year, day and night are of equal length.

The energy of Jade can help Librans, who are often strong-willed and sensitive, remain balanced and centered.

Jade Crystal Chakra

Jade is the perfect crystal for finding emotional balance and healing of the emotional body.

Traditional Green Jade awakens and opens the Heart Chakra, cleansing and aligning it with physical and emotional health and well-being.

The Heart Chakra regulates our energetic and emotional exchanges with the outer world, controlling what we are open to, and what we are resistant to.

An open Heart Chakra, in alignment with our emotional and physical health, balances our emotions and puts us into a state of equilibrium in our environment.

When the Heart Chakra is out of balance, we may be overly critical of ourselves and others, being overly controlling and acting in strongly emotional ways.

The vibrational action of Jade Crystal will put the Heart Chakra into balance, helping us overcome our emotional tendencies.

We are able to understand our own emotional needs as well as those of others, giving us the ability to state our emotional needs with clarity.

We also become open to the emotional needs and health of others, accepting the ups and downs of relationships in healthy and mature ways.
