Crystals for New Beginnings: Ring In The New: Jade

The power behind new beginnings, whether it is for a New Year or a

new day, can be found in the strength of our mental attitude.

Encouraging words, affirmations and other tools can keep us along the

path we desire. So engaging crystals as a tool for guidance seems

only natural. Love, abundance, creativity are often the ideas we

strive for the most.

Jade

Solid to translucent. There are two varieties of Jade, Jadeite and

Nephrite. Nephrite is quite similar to Jadeite in its healing

abilities, but its colors are creamier and less translucent than

Jadeite; Nephrite is the more commonly found variety. Jade may come

in a variety of colors, green, blue, black, violet, white, yellow and

a reddish and brownish variety. Each with its own slightly different

use. Green: Health, wealth, longevity stone. Ancient Chinese used

also for courage, wisdom, justice, mercy, emotional balance, stamina,

love, fidelity, humility, generosity, peace, harmony. Lungs, heart,

thymus, immune, kidney and blood detoxification, nervous system.

Androgynous. A gentle, steady energy.

While all Jade has some healing influence, each color relates more

specifically to certain ailments or organs. Properties common to all

colors of Jade include its ability to mellow one's existence. Helps

one rid themselves of negative thoughts and energy. Strengthens the

body's filtration and cleansing systems and assists in the removal of

toxins. Very beneficial to the heart in both physical and spiritual

senses. It is a very protective stone and will keep its wearer out of

harm's way.
