Jade - Also known as Jadeite and Nephrite 

Jade is a symbol of purity and serenity. Much prized in the East, it signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. Jade is associated with the heart chakra and increases love and nurturing. It is a protective stone, which keeps the wearer from harm and brings harmony. It is believed to bring good luck and friendship. Psychologically, Jade stabilizes the personality and integrates the mind and body. It promotes self-sufficiency. Mentally, Jade releases negative thoughts and soothes the mind. It stimulates ideas and makes tasks seem less complex so that they can be acted upon immediately. Emotionally, Jade is a "dream stone." Placed on the forehead, it brings insightful dreams. It aids emotional release, especially of irritability. Spiritually, Jade encourages you to become who you really are. It assists in recognizing yourself as a spiritual being on a human journey and awakens hidden knowledge. Physically, Jade is a cleansing stone, aiding the body's filtration and elimination organs. It is the stone for the kidneys. Jadeite and Nephrite have the same healing properties but individual colors have specific attributes. Jade treats the kidneys and adrenal glands, removes toxins, rebinds the cellular and skeletal systems, and heals stitches. It assists fertility and childbirth. It works on the hips and spleen. Jade balances the fluids within the body and the water-salt/acid-alkaline ratios. The Chinese believe that holding Jade transfers its virtues into the body.
