Nephrite Green Jade has been revered for centuries for its therapeutic properties. Sadly, it is commonly treated with heat, bleach, or polymers to improve its appearance, thereby drastically reducing its ability to promote strength and longevity. Gemisphere’s Green Jade is 100% treatment-free, with rich, consistent jade-green color.  Therapeutic Quality Green Jade Therapeutic-quality nephrite Green Jade has consistent color with minimal inclusions or mottling. The more consistent and true green the color of the gems, the more healing Green Jade energy will be available to your body. Although it is generally opaque, Green Jade may display some translucency. The more translucent the gem, the stronger its effects will be. Lighter Green Jade has a more yang quality, while darker Green Jade has a stronger yin quality. Darker green colors will also have stronger and quicker effects on the physical and supraphysical body. This is part of why color consistency matters: the more consistent the color, the stronger the delivery of that shade’s energy will be. Nephrite Green Jade is commonly treated with heat, bleach, or polymers to improve its color and appearance. However, any artificial treatment of Green Jade will significantly reduce its ability to promote strength and longevity. Gemisphere’s Green Jade is completely free of all artificial treatments and meets our high standards for therapeutic quality.
