As soon as I saw this Jade in a bead shop in Dublin I fell in love with it. It's a really unusual olive colour. I've matched it with pietersite because it complements the look & feel of it.
Jade has many associations with nobility & wealth. Many consider it to be the protector of generations, living & dead. Jade has always been the 'Gem Supreme', the jewel of heaven & the stone of the heart. It is known to guard against accidents & misfortune whilst blocking negative influences. It discourages harmful decision making & is a symbol of purity, serenity & is a nurturing stone that also dispels negative energy.
Pietersite is a rare gemstone also known as 'eagle's eye' because it's mainly made up of hawk's eye and tigers eye. Because it's swirling colours resemble a storm, Pietersite is known as the tempest stone. It discharges negative energy & emotional turmoil whilst cleansing the aura, restoring it to calm.
The jade has a lovely waxy feel to it and the unusual oblong centre bead makes it stand out fabulously. Hopefully, being bought in Dublin, the jade has been imbued with the luck of the Irish!
