J IS FOR JADE – A to Z Blogging Challenge

Hey everyone!

Today’s word is jade for the sole reason that I wanted to look up more about the stone. I have several jade pieces inherited from my mom and want to add more to my collection of stones and jewelry.

Jade symbolizes prosperity, success, and good luck. It was also thought to help cure various aches and pain. (Source). I heard that the color of jade can change depending on how long you’ve had it on your person vs having it stay in your jewelry box. I’m not sure how jade would grow darker while in your possession, but I know that jade is an especially important stone to the Chinese.

There aren’t a lot of scientific articles about jade online, but there is a lot of lore to be found in the internet.

What do you think about jade?
