Crystal Focus - Jade

Jade is a health, wealth and longevity stone, long-acting as a source of power across many civilisations for thousands of years. It has been used for everything from ornamental carvings and costume, to weapons and jewellery. In China, Jade has been one of the most sought after stones in history, valued for its beauty, healing powers and protection.

Jade is said to symbolise the five virtues of humanity: courage, wisdom, modesty, justice, and compassion, and is believed to be a great emotional balancer. Thought to release negative thoughts and soothe the mind, a piece of Jade kept in a pocket or on a pendant for the wearer to hold from time to time is said to recharge energy and protect against illness.

Also known as a ‘dream stone’, Jade is believed to stabilize the personality, integrating mind with body. Jade can bring on insightful dreams and improve one’s remembering of dreams.

A powerful stone across many civilizations, Jade is a welcome addition to any one’s collection to assist in personal growth, good fortune, and health.
