The Spanish conquistadors named this stone piedra de ijada, the “flank stone,” after the way the peoples of Central America wore it against their side. The learned name of one of its varieties, nephrite, comes from the Greek nephros, kidney, from the same tradition. The Mayans and Aztecs prized it, and used it to chase away negative spirits.
Behind the word jade actually lie two minerals: nephrite, more common and typically green or white, and jadeite, rarer, found in a wider range of colors (pink, lavender, black) and considered more valuable. The main deposits are in Burma, Canada, China and the USA.

Jade first evokes Imperial China, where it is called yù and was, for millennia, more precious than gold. Owning jade was a sign of wealth and elevation; the stone represented the Emperor, embodied the powers of the sun and was used in ceremonial objects. Confucius himself compared its qualities to those of the virtuous man.
The Taoists considered it a tool for immortality. A jade cut in the shape of a cicada, the insect reborn from the earth, was sometimes placed in the mouth of the deceased to symbolize life after death. Across the world, the peoples of Central America saw in jade the core of being: the soul, the heart and the mind.

In crystal healing, jade is a stone of balance, harmony and peace, acting first on the mental plane. It is an ideal stone for those seeking emotional stability.
It brings perspective in the face of others’ judgment and fosters honesty and integrity.
It inspires self-control, tolerance, acceptance and compassion.
It helps release feelings of guilt and self-doubt.
It influences dreams and helps you remember them more clearly.
Jade can be of great help in mediation, balance and negotiation. For children, it is believed to provide courage and resilience, helping them overcome challenges and reach their goals. It is often a tool for personal growth, a valuable ally in times of change.
In Feng Shui, jade is used to attract prosperity, abundance and good fortune: placed in the home or at work, it helps create a harmonious environment. Its link with the heart chakra makes it a stone of love and compassion, whether worn as jewelry or kept in your living space.
In 2016, a 174-ton block of jade was discovered in Burma, valued at several million dollars. The Taoists saw it as a key to immortality, the Chinese carved it into funeral cicadas, and for Central American peoples it was the soul itself.
⚠️ The virtues attributed to stones come from traditions and beliefs. They are not a treatment and do not replace medical advice.

Jade has also given its name to a lucky plant: discover the jade tree, the plant that attracts prosperity, or the origins of amber.
