Jade is another beautiful and popular semi precious stone. It makes for beautiful jade pendants and jade beads. Jade is remarkably strong and was used for tools and more as a utility by earlier cultures. Later, it became a more symbolic stone and was used in statuary, ornaments and jewelry. Although still considered semi precious, in some cultures, Jade was prized more highly than gold. Emerald green jade is the most highly sought after and its color comes from chromium. Other shades of jade come from exposure to different elements like iron (green and brown) and manganese. On a metaphysical level it is thought that green Jade enhances self-healing of both the emotional and physical. It is linked to the heart and is said to enhance prosperity and abundance.
