Jade

About this stone

Jade — whether nephrite or jadeite — has been the imperial stone of China and a Mesoamerican burial stone for millennia. Astrologically it is paired with Venus and the Moon: a green talisman for gentle, faithful, harmonious love. Where Rose Quartz opens the heart and Emerald deepens it, Jade keeps it steady — useful in long unions, second marriages, and any partnership that values quiet over fireworks.
