Jadeite is the second member of the Jade family, which is a Pyroxene mineral, unlike its Actinolite mineral brother, Nephrite. A more grainy jade, Jadeite is slightly harder than Nephrite, but not as tough. It comes in a variety of colors, the most famous of which is a semi-transparent emerald-green jadeite known as “Imperial Jade”. Jadeite is also found in green (light apple to deep green), lavender, white, pink, red, yellow, black, blue and orange. The majority of this sought-after variety of Jade is found in Myanmar, what was once Burma.

Jadeite is a stone of harmony, bringing cohesiveness to group settings, whether family or business colleagues. It strengthens relationships and helps those recover after loss or separation. Like all Jade, Jadeite is a stone of prosperity and abundance. It will increase a slow business as well as a failing garden. Jadeite is especially helpful for teenagers and children who are shy, lonely or dealing with changing hormones. Use Jade to increase the ability to interpret dreams as well as induce lucid dreaming.

Physically, one can use Jadeite to aide in male reproductive disorders; to repair cells and bones; relieves pain and eases restless leg syndrome, cramps, and “Charlie horses”; increases healing after surgery and helps regulate high blood pressure.

Jade Physical Healing Energy

Jade is a powerful cleansing stone, enhancing the body's filtration and elimination organs. It is excellent for treating the kidneys, spleen and supra-adrenal glands, removing toxins and balancing the fluids and water-salt/acid-alkaline ratios in the body.

It is helpful to the bones and joints, especially the hips, and for treating bacterial and viral infections, cystitis and genito-urinary infections, and bedwetting. [Eason, 266]

Jade has a restorative property, allowing for both the cellular and skeletal systems to re-bind themselves, and assists in the removal of pain associated with the body's healing of itself. Jade also helps stitches to bind and heal properly, and has been used to diminish cramps and "Charlie horses." [Hall, 152][Melody, 343] Imperial Jade is particularly useful in healing after plastic surgery or reconstructive surgery caused by a disfiguring illness or injury.

Jade is thought to treat reproductive disorders, especially male, and assist during childbirth. Jade may also be used to help teenage girls with anorexia, and for mothers who are afraid of not knowing how to parent their children.

Jade is a "dream stone," releasing negative thoughts and irritability and soothing the mind. It stabilizes the personality, integrating mind with body, to stimulate ideas and make tasks less complex and easier to act upon. Placed on the forehead, it brings insightful dreams. [Hall, 152] Jade improves one's remembering of dreams and releases suppressed emotions via the dream process.

Jade relinquishes self-imposed limitations and assists in cherishing one's ideals and desires, facilitating the ambition and building of those thoughts into physical reality. Jade provides confidence and self-assuredness, self-reliance and self-sufficiency.

Imperial Jade improves dysfunctional relationships. It helps restore dignity to anyone who has been mocked for looking different, and gives very overweight people stuck in self-loathing the courage to seek help and persevere with treatment.
