A History of Jade

Jade has been treasured for millennia, with its history stretching back to ancient civilisations. Revered in China for over 9,000 years, it was considered more precious than gold or diamonds. Jade was often used in ceremonial objects, jewellery, and even musical instruments, symbolising power, wealth, and good fortune. Its enduring appeal speaks to its timeless beauty and cultural significance.

Folklore and Myths of Jade

Across various cultures, jade is steeped in folklore and mythology. In ancient China, it was believed to possess protective qualities, warding off evil spirits and promoting longevity. The Mayans and Aztecs also held jade in high esteem, associating it with water, fertility, and the earth. These ancient beliefs contribute to the mystique and allure surrounding this captivating gemstone.

Healing Properties of Jade

Jade is often associated with various healing properties in alternative medicine. It is believed to promote emotional balance, reduce stress, and encourage feelings of love and compassion. Some also believe that jade can aid in physical healing, supporting the kidneys, heart, and immune system. Whether you believe in its healing powers or simply appreciate its beauty, jade is a stone with a rich history of well-being.

Physical and Geographical Properties

African Jade, typically a form of serpentine, is known for its smooth texture and vibrant green colour. While not true jade (nephrite or jadeite), it shares a similar aesthetic appeal. Serpentine, including African Jade, typically has a Mohs hardness of 2.5 to 5.5, making it relatively soft and easy to work with. It is found in various locations across Africa, adding to its unique character.
