The word "jade" communicates a sense of mystery. In Chinese, "jade" (yu) refers to a fine, beautiful stone with a warm color and rich luster that is skillfully and delicately carved. In Chinese culture, jade symbolizes nobility, perfection, constancy, and immortality. For millennia, jade has been an intimate part of the lives of Chinese of all ranks and classes. It is viewed as the most valuable of all precious stones. Jade is found in mountains and riverbeds, and Chinese consider jade to be "the essence of heaven and earth." When polished and carved into various articles, jade is attributed with certain cultural characteristics.

1. Love: Jade have long been used as a powerful magnet for love, especially when the stone is carved into the shape of a butterfly. The origin of this use can be traced back to a Chinese legend in which a young man is chasing a butterfly and inadvertently ends up in some rich fellow`s yard. Although the youth expects to be reprimanded for trespassing on the wealthy man`s land, he instead is given the hand of the wealthy man`s daughter in marriage.
2. Money: Another major use for jade is to attract money into your life. The jade can be carved into any shape for this purpose, although a jade tiger is a popular one. The pendant can be worn around the neck and taken off and held in the hand for extra power during important business transactions or while imagining yourself surrounded by wealth.
3. Clarity: In addition to drawing love and money into your life, jade can bring a boost to your brain. When worn regularly, jade is said to contribute to clear thinking, acute awareness and sharp reasoning skills.
4. Protection: While it`s bringing you love, money and a clear head, jade can also serve to protect you. Think of it as forming a protective shield against car crashes, falling down the stairs and other mishaps that may befall you all too often. For best results with protection, place the jade between two purple candles and light them for a few minutes. This gives the jade the protective qualities it needs to pass them on to you.
5. Healing: Just as jade boosts your brain, it can also work as a soothing tool for the rest of your body. Those who suffer from psychosomatic or mental issues will benefit most, as will those with upset stomach or heart and kidney problems. The calming green color alone is enough to immediately begin the healing process.

Maintenance of Jade

Jade is actually extremely easy to take care of. The more you wear it, the brighter and lovelier your jade will become. You can wipe your jade jewelry with a soft cloth after wearing, and wipe it down with a gem cleaner every so often. Chemical cleaner, however, is to be avoided at all costs. If you take your jade to a jeweler to be cleaned or worked on, make sure they do not steam clean your jade piece. Never put jade in an Ultra-Sonic cleaner. The chlorine in pools and hot tubs can be harmful to jade and jewelry settings, so it is safer to remove your jewelry before swimming.
