Jade
Hardness 67, Specific gravity 33.5, Refractive index 1.61.67. Jade is usually translucent to opaque. Its colors range from apple
green to emerald green, and almost-white to greenish white. Jade can
be highly polished. Jade is hard and does not scratch easily. Nor
is it easily cut. Therefore, well-cut and polished jade is more valuable
than uncut stones. Jade is used as a substitute for emerald to str engthen Mercury.
Only green jade is used for this purpose. Good quality jade can be
effective in removing the negative effects of badly placed planets. There are two types of jade, and they are actually two different
mineralsjadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is a silicate of sodium
and aluminum; nephrite is a silicate of calcium and magnesium. Both
are hard and durable, more difficult to carve than steel. Jade will
not usually break if hit with a hammer. Jadeite is slightly harder
than nephrite, but it is easier to fracture it. Most of the worlds
jadeite comes from Upper Myanmar. This jadeite is what we have come
to know as imperial jade, or Chinese jade.
Jadeite is also found in South America, Brazil, Malagasy Republic,
South China, Mexico, and Tibet.British Columbia in Canada is the largest
producer in the world of nephrite jade. Nephrite jade is also found
in Turkistan, New Zealand, and Siberia. The color and translucency of jade are the main things that affect
its value. Jade can be several different colors. White jade is usually
nephrite. The emerald green jade (Imperial jade) is always
jadeite and is the rarest and most valuable form of the stone. Jadeite
also comes in orange-red, mauve, blue-green, and lavender. Both types
of jade can appear in a variety of colors.Sometimes jewelers dye jade
green, but the dyes are usually not permanent and the stone fades
over time. There are many substitutes for jade, one of which is chalcedony. Jade should be set in gold on a Wednesday. It can also be set on
a Friday or Saturday. The piece of jade should weigh at least five
carats. The proper rituals should be performed to install the stone
in its setting, and the ring should be worn on the little finger of
the right hand for men and of the left hand for women, within one
or two hours after sunrise on a Wednesday of the bright half of a
lunar month. The ring should be made when Mercury is in its own sign
of Virgo, or in a friendly sign, a constellation tenanted by Mercury,
or a constellation friendly to Mercury. Jade is worn to help improve kidney disease, skin problems, epilepsy,
and allergies. It is said to give one long life and to protect one
from accidents. If you know of a vegetarian restaurant that is not listed here, or if you would like to help update our listings, please e-mail us at: [email protected] |
