JADE   (Pronounced Jay - d)

GEOLOGICAL :- Jade is generally a soothing green gem with mottled flecks of darker green in it, yet it ranges in color from white through yellow, green, violet, brown to black, with a white color streak and a hardness of 6 - 7.5 and is found in many countries.

MYTHOLOGY :- Jade, it is said is not from earth, rather a mutation from a planet outside of the Solar System. It is believed to provide protection from enemies when worn as a piece of jewellery, and can never harm anyone wearing it, as it does not absorb negativities of any nature. It is said to prolong life and protect from inner restlessness and accidents. Widely used in China and Ancient Egypt as a talisman for good fortune and is also said to attract friendship and loyalty.

The Chinese believe that when struck, Jade emits a particularly melodious sound, which, for the Chinese poet, resembles the voice of a loved one. As such Jade  is known as the concentrated essence of love.

Jade amulets are worn by Chinese children to protect them from childhood diseases.

So great are the uses and customs of Jade to the Chinese, that they regard it as the musical gem par excellence. Making varying lengths of Jade into beautiful chimes, which resonate at different tones and notes.
