Gemstone Beads, Lavender Jade, Natural, Round, 8mm
Lavender Jade, also known as Purple Jade and Turkiyenite, is a rare variety of Jadeite that crystallizes in the form of large masses. The color ranges from lilac to deep purple, and usually contains white specs from spotted Quartz inclusions.
Sometimes referred to as Lilac Jade, Lavender Jade is a gorgeous, gentle purple stone that has been present since ancient civilizations roamed the Earth. As a result, many ponder the Lavender Jade meaning in Chinese, but, interestingly enough, Purple Jade is the only color jade that is not at all related to any meridians used in Chinese medicine. Instead, it’s related to what are known as “super meridians”.
Purple Jade’s meaning differs slightly in another part of the world: Turkey. Turkish Purple Jade saw great popularity during the 80s, when tons of the mineral were exported to commercial markets. The commodity was sourced from the one place in the world which could produce this form of Purple Jade: Bursa, in Turkey.
To many, Lavender Jade is also considered to be an honorary birthstone. When it occurs in violet ray energy, Jade is assigned to all who are born around the start of the near year, just after the winter solstice between December 21st and January 19th. Gifting Jade to any individuals born between this time would be a worthwhile endeavor!
The Ancient Chinese knew the secrets of Purple Jade, and mastered working with its healing properties from early on.
The most impressive of the Lavender Jade properties is perhaps the stone’s ability to protect the human aura. It is believed that this stone, unlike other forms of Jade, has the ability to connect a user to the energy of Kwan Yin, a fierce power that is known as the Bodhisattva of compassion. From here, we are given our metaphysical gifts, as well as deep inner peace.
There is further significance to Lavender Jade when considered in relation to the chakras. Usually, crystals tend to correspond with just one chakra, and it’s often identifiable by the color of the stone in question. For example, green crystals tend to work with the heart chakra, while blue stones focus more on the throat.
Since Lavender Jade is of violet ray energy, it would be logical to assume that it works with the crown charka only. This is false, as the stone is actually attuned to the root, heart, third eye and crown chakras simultaneously. This is not a common occurrence in crystals, and it is testament to what this stone may be able to do for you.
Purple Jade can be used to clear the head, and to bring tension under control. If you suffer from lethargy or chronic spells of exhaustion, keeping a piece of this crystal nearby could help bring things back into balance.
All forms of Jade are considered to be luck bringers, and Lavender Jade is no different. Keep a piece somewhere you often frequent so that you’ll regularly interact with it if more luck is something you seek in your experience.
Lavender Jade is a tough stone, not an indestructible one. To clean Jade jewelry, use plain lukewarm soapy water and a soft cloth. Be sure to rinse well to remove residues, since Nephrite is porous and can absorb colors quite easily. (Avoid chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners and steamers for the same reason.)
Keep Jade away from extreme temperature fluctuations or prolonged heat and strong light. Store jade away from other gemstones, you'll avoid scratches and fractures of both the Jade and other stones. It is best to always wrap your gemstones in soft cloth, fabric storage bag or place them inside a fabric-lined jewelry box.
