Cool facts The mystical birthstone for the month of march is the mineral, jade Star sign of Virgo is the mineral jade Jade is also known as a gem stone Jade’s known as a symbol of love and also virtue

Texture/color Jade comes in many different kinds of colors Jade can come in various colors such as white, light green, lilac, red, violet, yellow, gray and brown The mineral can also be colorless, which is the more valuable type of jade

Polished vs. Unpolished This is a polished form of jade, with one tumble This form is unpolished, but cut

Mineral Hardness Calcium and magnesium are what make the mineral Jade hard and solid. The hardness of Jade is between 6.5 and 7.0 Jade can scratch glass Jade generally has fracture, unless it’s cut by a machine, which gives cleavage

Two types of jade… Jadeite Nephrite -luster=glassy -fracture=difficult, splintery -6.5 to 7.0 Both can be distinguished from their softness Nephrite -luster=oily or silky -fracture=uneven -5.0 to 6.0 Both have different chemical composition and crystalline structure

Cultural beliefs about jade: The mineral jade is a big and popular part of Chinese culture today Chinese people also believed wearing jade brings you good luck, success, improves your health, and wards away any evil and/or disasters

Jade as jewelry Jade could be used to make pendant necklaces, bracelet bands, small figurines, necklaces, and much more The Chinese especially used jade for buying and selling this mineral

Cutting and polishing It takes hard work and time, to make jade, look good Doing this could be dangerous if you don’t watch what your doing cut jade polished jade

Valuable mineral? Jade is somewhat valuable Depending on the color of the jade, would depend on how much it could be worth For instance, the picture of the right would be one of the expensive pieces of jade, because it’s clear, colorless, and carved

Is it dangerous? The people mining the jade out of the ground experience dangerous situations that can be life-threatening, but the jade isn’t dangerous There’s always a chance that the mines could collapse while doing this work People work long, hard hours throughout the day mining the Mineral jade, under somewhat, harsh conditions Jade miners receive low pay for working in jade mines, as low as $1.00 a week in some places I would say that the mineral jade is not really dangerous as the mineral itself, but getting the mineral could be dangerous overall

Jade’s locations around the world: Australia, Burma (Myanmar), Canada, china, USA, and Vietnam, Japan, Alaska, and Korea (south).

Jade can be good for you… When jade is heated, it emits long waves of infrared that penetrates the body. It can effect the body by reviving tissues, emitting harmful toxins/waste, promoting blood circulation, and purifying blood.
