Description from the seller
Nephrite Pendant - Jade / Cabochon / gold-plated / new
Set in 925. Sterling silver, 18 carat gold-plated

Weight: 3.30 g (weighed without leather cord)
17.5 mm x 11.5 mm x 6.1 mm
New and unworn
Nephrite is a mixed crystal from the seamless series of Tremolite and Actinolite minerals. It is not recognized as an independent mineral by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA).
When nephrite occurs as a mass of interwoven microscopic crystalline fibers, it is called jade. This material, also known as nephrite jade, is processed into desirable jewelry stones and decorative items, but chemistically differs significantly from jade predominantly composed of jadeite. The colors of nephrite are caused by chromium and iron and range from gray-green to dark green and almost black; the color can also tilt toward reddish-brown.
The term nephrite derives from the Greek nephros (νεφρός) meaning kidney. An old folk belief attributes healing and strengthening effects to the stone, especially for the kidneys, urinary tract, and bladder. Esotericists also believe in its effectiveness as a healing stone for vision, creativity, and more, as well as a protective stone, though these claims are not scientifically proven.
Stone axes made from nephrite were prized and, due to their rare occurrence, valuable tools in Neolithic Europe.
