Semi Precious Stone Jade Necklace
 Jade is the gem name for gem
stone aggregates composed of either or both of two
different minerals, Jadeite and also Nephrite. Jadeite is a sodium-rich
aluminous pyroxene; nephrite is a fine-grained, calcium-rich,
magnesium, iron, and aluminous amphibole. All jade is composed
of fine-grained; extremely inter grown, interlocking ("matted"
or "felted" texture, like asbestos or felt) crystals
of one or both of these raw materials. Though neither mineral
is very hard (6-7), jade is one of the toughest gem raw materials
known because of inter grown nature of the individual
crystals.
Healing ability: Jade is said to be of use in
the treatment of asthma, heart harms, larynx, liver, thyroid,
spleen, and also thymus. It's also thought to make stronger the
body and increase longevity. Taken in a drink, it is supposed
to strengthen the muscles, harden the bones, calm the mind, and
cleanse the blood. It is believed to bring its wearer good luck,
peace, harmony, tranquility, fertility, serenity, practicality,
moderation, stability, and also perspective. Tougher than granite
and more hard to carve than steel, Jade is one
of the toughest minerals known to man, and was used by Mayans
in Central America to make weapons, utensils and also good ornaments.
