Canadian Nephrite Jade, faceted rondelles, 6x10mm on 16-inch strands.
Both Nephrite and Jadeite are true natural Jade, and it was not until 1863 that small differences between them were discovered. Both have been greatly revered for centuries in China, Central America, Canada and New Zealand, for carvings, adornment, weapons, and tools as Jade is said to be "stronger than steel"
Jade remains one of the most popular gemstones worldwide today and the most productive, and reputedly the best, source is currently in British Columbia, Canada, from where it's exported around the globe.
Metaphysical writers describe jade as a stone for healing the heart, bringing strong and steady energy, well-being and balance. It's said to be good to wear during sleep, for both rest and beneficial dreams
