Green Nephrite Jade Free Form 148mm — Wooden Stand Abundance Stone

A green nephrite jade free form on a fitted wooden stand, 148mm tall and 1.2 kilograms, in a natural, undyed green with the smooth, slightly waxy feel that genuine nephrite is known for. Rather than a cut geometric shape, this piece keeps the organic contours of the rough, letting the stone's own colour variation and texture speak for itself. Green jade is closely tied to the heart chakra, associated with abundance, prosperity, and calm.

The name jade actually covers two entirely different minerals, nephrite and jadeite, and this piece is genuine nephrite, historically called the Stone of Heaven in China and revered there for more than 5,000 years. Nephrite has a reputation as one of the toughest natural stones on earth, a fibrous, interlocking structure that makes it remarkably resistant to breaking even though it isn't the hardest mineral by scratch resistance.

A closer look at this piece

Nephrite is a calcium magnesium silicate from the amphibole mineral group, and its dense, fibrous structure is exactly why carvers and collectors have prized it for millennia, from ancient tools and weapons through to today's decorative pieces. British Columbia, Canada, is home to one of the largest nephrite deposits in the world, and this piece is entirely natural, not treated or dyed. Slight variations in colour and texture between individual pieces are normal and expected of natural jade.

Displaying your piece

The included stand means it's ready to place straight onto a shelf, console, or altar. Traditionally, green jade is kept somewhere in the home associated with abundance, since it's read as warding off negative thought and surrounding a space with calm. Nephrite is genuinely tough, so ordinary handling poses little risk, though a soft cloth and mild soapy water, well rinsed, is the recommended way to clean it, since the stone is porous and can absorb other colours over time.
