JADE: PRIZED ABOVE GOLD

If gold is a valued material, then jade is its spiritual counterpart. The Chinese believe jade links heaven and earth, and that its roots reach back to the beginning of creation, when the god Pan Ku carved the universe. His head became mountains, his breath the winds and clouds, his flesh and blood the soil and rivers, and the marrow of his bones became jade.

A circular disc carved in jade represents heaven, and can transmit prayers to the gods. Children wear jade bangles and pendants to ward off disease or jealous spirits. Jade comes in colors from pink to purple, and there are over 100 different shades of green jade. Jade represents purity; its toughness suggests resolution and intelligence; its transparency symbolizes sincerity. Sounds like something to keep close to you, always, for some excellent comfort, luck and protection!
