Nephrite is one of the two distinct minerals commonly known as jade. While nephrite doesn’t quite match the variety or the fine green “imperial jade” colors found in jadeite, it exhibits some very attractive pale green hues. Nephrite is a form of jade which is composed of jade and actinolite. It is slightly softer than jadeite, but tougher than jadeite because nephrite has a denser structure. Nephrite also has quite the history as well. Neolithic sites include simple ornaments carved of jade, which soon expanded to include knives, tools and even weapons. In Chinese culture, jade is so valued that it appears in many of their idioms. We in the western world might say someone is "pretty as a picture," the Chinese equivalent might be to say they have a, "jade countenance." If you’re looking for a new way to express your fondness for your significant other, give this a shot.
According to metaphysics: It acts as a protective stone that turns negative energies into positive. It’s known as the stone of abundance, fortune, and luck which can help you to achieve your deep seeded desires.. Some claim that they feel lucky and less stressed when they have nephrite by their side or worn in jewelry. Jade brings excellent healing powers, especially for the heart chakra. It is a dream clarifier and is often placed by bedsides as it can help you remember and understand dreams better.
