Brown Jade Meaning and History
Jade is a huge term that encompasses several gemstones. However, the purest jade forms include nephrite and jadeite. Jade’s history traces back around seven thousand years back when this gemstone was useful in making tools and weapons. The ancient people loved using jade because of its toughness. Its name came from the Spanish word “Piedra de ijada” meaning “stone for the pain in the side”.
The Aztecs and Mayans regarded this stone as a valuable gemstone for use. Spanish explorers named it after they discovered Central American natives held the gemstone to their side and believed it would cure their ailments. Chinese refer to this gemstone as “yu,” which technically means “imperial” or “heavenly”. Therefore, in Chinese culture, jade is known as an imperial gem.
Jade is also significant in New Zealand history. The gemstone occurs on the Island and has been a treasure for the Maoris for a long time. They call it “pounamu”, “New Zealand jade,” or “greenstone”. The stone has been used to make tools such as fish hooks, chisels, and even weapons like short clubs. The jade gemstone that occurs in New Zealand is nephrite. The green nephrite found on Lake Baikal in Russia is “Russian jade”.
Of the two jade varieties, jadeite is rarer and thus more precious. The most precious jade is emerald green jadeite.
Geological Properties
Brown jade is one of the family members of jadeite. It is among the two distinct minerals that bear the jade name. Nephrite is a typical calcium magnesium silicate with a waxy sheen and surface polish. It occurs in shades of black and brown, olive green, or white. On the other hand, Jadeite is a sodium aluminum silicate, rarer than nephrite, lustrous and hard, and more expensive.
It may occur in various colors such as leafy green, emerald green, greenish-black, pink, red, brown, black, lavender, orange, or white-gray green. Even though these gemstones have different densities, hardness, composition, and crystal structures, they have a similar appearance and are both tough stones. They are both valuable in terms of metaphysical properties.
