Jade Polished Raw Crystal Green Jadeite

What Is This Stone?

This is a genuine Burmese Jadeite slab — one of the rarest and most prized gemstones on Earth. Partially polished on one face and left raw on the other, it bridges the refined and the wild. Each piece weighs approximately 12 ounces and measures 4–5 inches, making it a commanding display specimen or altar centerpiece.

Geological Profile

• Mineral: Jadeite — a sodium aluminum pyroxene (NaAlSi₂O₆), distinct from the more common nephrite jade
• Hardness: 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale; dense, interlocking crystal structure gives it exceptional toughness
• Color: Creamy to medium green, with natural variation in tone, translucency, and inclusions
• Formation: Formed under high-pressure, low-temperature metamorphic conditions deep within subduction zones
• Origin: Hpakant region, Kachin State, Myanmar — the world's premier source of gem-quality Jadeite
• Finish: One face polished smooth; reverse left in natural rough formation with original miner's tool marks

Historical & Cultural Significance

• Imperial China: Jadeite was called yù — the "Stone of Heaven" — and reserved for emperors, nobles, and sacred ritual objects
• Mesoamerica: The Maya and Olmec civilizations prized jade above gold, using it in burial masks, offerings, and royal adornment
• Myanmar: Jadeite mining has shaped Burmese culture and economy for centuries; the finest material is still called "Imperial Jade"
• Modern value: Top-grade Jadeite commands higher per-carat prices than diamonds at auction

Metaphysical & Energetic Properties

• Abundance: One of the oldest talismans for prosperity, wealth attraction, and sustained good fortune
• Heart Chakra: Resonates with the heart center — supports emotional balance, self-worth, and generosity
• Protection: Traditionally worn and placed in homes to ward off negative energy and invite harmony
• Belonging: Encourages a sense of rightful place — your seat at the table, your share of abundance

Care

• Rinse under cool running water; pat dry with a soft cloth
• Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or extreme heat
• Store separately to protect the polished face from scratching
• Recharge in moonlight or on a selenite slab

Natural and untreated. Each slab is unique in color, patterning, and inclusions — no two are alike.
