Jade (Nephrite) refers to an ornamental mineral, mostly known for its green varieties. The most common variety seen in the states (found in North America) is nephrite, a silicate of calcium and magnesium – mostly from western Canada. Jade has been used for tens of thousands of years, initially as tools because of its hardness, but is prized, especially in Asian cultures, as a gemstone that is cut into many shapes and often given a high polish. Metaphysical Attributes include creativity, protection, healing and wisdom. Chakra: Heart. Mohs hardness: 6-7.
