Jade
Nephrite or Jadeite · Silicate minerals
“Jade is steady fortune: calm strength, quiet prosperity, guarded peace.”
-WickedOverview
Jade refers to two distinct silicate minerals: nephrite and jadeite. Both have been valued for thousands of years for their durability, smooth texture, and symbolic associations with wisdom, protection, and prosperity.
Most commonly green, Jade can also appear in white, lavender, yellow, or deeper tones depending on composition. Across cultures, it has been regarded as a stone of harmony, fortune, and moral strength.
In witchcraft, Jade is commonly worked with for prosperity, protection, longevity, emotional balance, and steady growth. It is chosen when the goal is sustainable success rather than rapid expansion.
