- Canadian Nephrite Jade, flat ovals 30x20mm on 16-inch strands
- Use as focal beads, or make pendants from these beads, these sturdy stones also make nice centerpieces for bracelets.
- Want to buy just a few instead of a strand? I'm open to that, just drop me a line and I'll create an entry for it if I have enough beads to do so.
- Both Nephrite and Jadeite are true natural Jade, and it was not until 1863 that small differences between them were discovered. Both have greatly revered for centuries in China, Central America, Canada and New Zealand for carvings, adornment, weapons and tools, as Jade is said to be "stronger than steel"
- Jade remains one of the most popular gemstones worldwide today and the most productive, and reputedly the best, source is currently in British Columbia, Canada, from where it's exported around the globe.
- Metaphysical writers describe jade as a stone for healing the heart, bringing strong and steady energy, well-being and balance. It's said to be good to wear during sleep, for both rest and beneficial dreams. In Asia it's revered for its positive effect on "chi" or life-force energy.
- Combines well with lighter Nephrite, light green New Jade, and silver or gold
