Jadeite

Jadeite is one of the two varieties of jade (the other being Nephrite) and is often considered the more precious due to its rarity and more vibrant color. In lithotherapy, jade is a highly symbolic stone, often associated with wisdom, harmony, and longevity.

Here is an overview of its main virtues:

On an emotional and mental level:

Serenity and Balance: Jadeite brings a deep sense of peace and inner calm. It helps to moderate strong emotions, soothe nervousness, and combat stress and anxiety.

Wisdom and Integrity: It is considered the stone of honesty and justice. It promotes good judgment, tolerance towards oneself and others, and helps to detach from the opinions of others.

Relational Harmony: It supports healthy and sincere relationships, whether in friendship or love, by fostering exchange and mutual understanding.

Prosperity and Luck: Traditionally, Jadeite is a powerful good luck charm and a symbol of abundance and prosperity.

On a physical level (according to lithotherapy):

Kidneys and Purification: Historically, jade is known as the "kidney stone" (piedra de ijada in Spanish). It is credited with supporting the proper functioning of the kidneys and urinary system, promoting the elimination of toxins.

Nervous System: It helps to calm the nervous system, which can manifest as relief from stress-related headaches and migraines.

Skin and Vitality: It is reputed to improve skin radiance and elasticity (hence its use in massage rollers), and to strengthen the immune system.

Associated Chakras:

Heart Chakra (Anahata): promotes love, emotional balance, and compassion.
