Description from the seller
Nephrite pendant - Jade / cabochon / new

Includes leather cord
Weight: 9.24 g (weighed without the leather cord)
39.5 mm x 18.0 mm x 6.8 mm
New and unworn
Nephrite is described as a mixed crystal in the continuous solid solution series of the minerals tremolite and actinolite. It is not recognized as a distinct mineral by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).
When nephrite occurs as a mass of interwoven microcrystalline fibers, it is called jade. This material, also known as nephrite jade, is processed into highly sought-after gemstones and handicrafts, but it Chemically differs significantly from jade that is mainly composed of jadeite. The colors of nephrite are caused by chromium and iron, ranging from gray-green through dark green to almost black, and the color can also move into reddish-brown.
The term nephrite comes from the Greek nephros (νεφρός) and translates as kidney. An old folk belief attributes healing and strengthening properties to the stone, especially for kidneys, urinary tract, and bladder. Esoteric practitioners also believe in its effectiveness as a healing stone for eyesight, creativity, among other things, as well as a protective stone, though this is not scientifically proven.
Stone axes made of nephrite were prized tools in Neolithic Europe and, due to their rarity, valuable implements.
Shipping as insured registered mail.
