Smooth, tumbled nephrite jade stones in a deep, full green. The palm-friendly form is ideal as a pocket stone, for meditation, as a gift or a mineral collection.
The stone of nephrite jade
Nephrite jade is a tough, dense calcium-magnesium silicate (a member of the amphibole group), whose fine, fibrous structure makes it remarkably resilient; its Mohs hardness is around 6–6.5, and it occurs in characteristic deep green tones. It has been treasured across many cultures for thousands of years. In crystal lore it is known as a stone of peace, nurture and wisdom, and tradition links it with balanced emotions.
The tumbled form
Tumbled stones gain their smooth, rounded surface through long polishing, which makes them sit pleasantly in the palm – a favourite as a pocket stone and meditation piece. This selection is mixed A/B quality: as a natural mineral, each piece can differ in shade, pattern and clarity, and every stone is unique. Pieces typically range between 0.5 and 2.5 cm.
Ways to use it
Nephrite jade works beautifully as a pocket stone, on a desk or in a crystal corner, and makes a meaningful gift. Its deep green brings a calm, balanced mood to a space.
Care and good to know
This is a durable mineral, yet it is worth protecting from knocks and abrasive surfaces and storing apart from other stones. Now and then you can rinse it under lukewarm water and pat it dry with a soft cloth.
