VIRGO BIRTHSTONE - JADE

As mentioned a couple of days ago, we entered the sun sign of Virgo on August 22, 2021.  Virgo’s sunstones or birthstones include Carnelian, Jade, Jasper, Moss Agate, and Blue Sapphire. Today, we are highlighting Jade.

 

Jade is Nephrite and/or Jadeite but there are many minerals that claim to be Jade which are not.  Jadeite has a hardness of 6.5 to 7 and Nephrite is slightly softer.  Jade though known of its many shades of green (which is caused by iron) can come is a variety of colours including green, white, orange, yellow, lavender, grey and black.

 

Jade is known as the dream stone and is said to bless everyone it touches. It is also said to offer peace through strength and a sense of calm.  It is known as the protection stone, a stone of good fortune and prosperity.

 

Jade is said to offer good luck and friendship.

 

Physically, it is used as a healing stone and a talisman for those who heal.

 

Jade is connected to the heart chakra.
