About Nephrite:
Nephrite is a tough, fibrous calcium-magnesium silicate and one of the two true minerals that make up the jade family with the other being Jadeite. Known for its exceptional durability, Nephrite has been used for thousands of years in tools, carvings, and protective talismans across cultures. Most of the “jade” sold on the open market, especially in softer green tones, is actually Nephrite rather than the rarer Jadeite. Its smooth, waxy luster and soothing colors—from creamy white to deep mossy greens—make it a favorite for cabochons, bracelets, and carvings. Metaphysically, Nephrite is celebrated as a stone of protection, abundance, and harmony, believed to help strengthen the heart, calm the mind, and promote longevity and emotional resilience.
