Nephrite is one of the two minerals commonly known as jade. While it doesn’t feature the rich green hues of jadeite, it still showcases beautiful pale green tones. Composed of jade and actinolite, nephrite is slightly softer than jadeite but tougher due to its denser structure. Nephrite has a long history, with Neolithic sites featuring jade ornaments, which later evolved into tools, knives, and weapons. In Chinese culture, jade holds such immense value that it appears in many idioms. For example, while we might say someone is "pretty as a picture," the Chinese might describe them as having a "jade countenance." A unique way to express affection!

According to metaphysics: nephrite jade is known as a protective stone that transforms negative energy into positive. Often referred to as the stone of abundance, fortune, and luck, nephrite is believed to help manifest deep desires. Many claim that wearing or keeping nephrite nearby brings a sense of calm and luck. It’s also recognized for its healing properties, particularly for the heart chakra, and is often placed by the bedside to aid in dream recall and clarity.
