Jade Therapy

Jade Therapy


Jade Therapy Stones uses a stone whose composition is calcium-magnesium-iron silicate. In 1863, Prof. Alexander Damour named the stone, the treasure of Confucius that had been carved for thousands of years, ‘nephrite.’ It is a waxy jade made up of rope-like fibrous crystals that breaks open like a sugar cube (as compared to jadeite, also named by Damour, which has large, interlocking crystals and sheers when it is split). This stone has a density of 6.5 (as compared to jadeite at 7.0), and a specific gravity of 2.90-3.02. Nephrite, unlike jadeite (which is considered by many experts to be the only true form of gem-quality jade), is a more common stone found in many areas of the world. This particular nephrite is mined in Northern China. Although its natural color is best described as eggshell white, nephrite appears in a number of other colors, with the green shades being more somber than jadeite, closer to sage or spinach green, and even green so dark as to look black. When immersed in hydrochloric acid as a test of authenticity, nephrite will have little to no reaction as compared to some stones which are represented as jade (especially serpentine and bowenite, which are softer and react badly to an acid test, as does marble).

With its shiny green luster the precious jade stone has been known to man for 7,000 years. Finally recognized for its exquisiteness, in 3000 BC the jade was considered the royal gem in China, where its worth is comparable to gold and diamonds here in the West. The Mayans and Aztecs believed it to be the stone of magic that only Priests, Kings and Gods were worthy of wearing. In traditional Eastern medicine, the jade is believed to possess healing qualities by emitting a gentle steady energy that strengthens the lungs, heart, thymus, immune and nervous system, as well as increasing kidney filtration and blood detoxification.
