Gemstone of the Day: Russian Jade

Hello Everyone,

I hope you're having a great day! It's almost spring and I'm sure we're not the only ones who are really looking forward to seeing some green!

Today I thought I'd write about Russian Jade, it's a beautiful green stone that seems fitting to talk about since we've just celebrated St. Patrick's Day and it's just a few days until Spring arrives (yay!).

Russian Jade is found by Lake Baikal in Russia. In many Asian cultures Jade is considered the most precious of stones.

Ancient people believed, as many do today, that Jade creates a sense of tranquility and calm, serenity and wisdom. Some say just wearing it can create a sense of peace.

Besides creating calm, it is said to protect the wearer from danger, especially on a long journey.

It is also said to bring prosperity and luck to the bearer.

The pendant pictured is sterling silver and features a beautiful Russian Jade stone.  You can find this and many other unique handcrafted works of art at out website:
