Nephrite jade as a chain strand for threading necklaces and bracelets is rather unusual - and yet the stone healing aspects of the mineral are so interesting: Nephrite gives inner balance and thus shields against negative influences from the outside. Brooding and fruitless thinking can be overcome more easily through the Nephrite.
The buttons are about 4mm thick and have a diameter of 6mm; the nephrite strand has a length of about 40cm.
Nephrite can also be found commercially as Maori jade, nephrite jade, nefrit or New Zealand jade. Mineralogically, Nephrite is an actionolite with many small crystals intertwined. The olive green color is due to iron and chromium.
