New Jade

Angelic Guidance  •   Past Life Recall  •  Tranquility
  

New Jade the name given to a yellow to light green coloured, translucent mineral in the Serpentine group, it is also sometimes called the Infinite Stone, Olive Serpentine, Yellow Bowenite or Retinalite.  

New Jade is a lovely stone for when we're feeling down or are stuck in a situation that we can't find a way out of.  It's a gentle, nurturing crystal that brings us guidance from the Angelic realms, fills us with tranquility, and surrounds us with serenity and purity.  

New Jade has strong connections with past lives, aiding in past life recall, and it can clear negative experiences that happened in previous lifetimes.

HISTORY and OVERVIEW

New Jade is a confusing crystal.  The only difference between New Jade (a yellow-light green coloured Bowenite), Nephrite and Jadeite, is their specific gravity.  As we don't have a laboratory and the tools to measure the gravity of each crystal, we make the best decision we can about New Jade pieces based on the information we have, our experience, and the experience of the wholesalers we work with.  However the properties of all three are very similar.   

Antigorite, a species of Serpentine, was named after the type locality, the Italian Valle di Antigorite, in the Piemont.

Bowenite, a variety of Antigorite, was named in 1850 by James Dwight Dana, the famed geologist, mineralogist and taxonomist, after George Thomas Bowen, a chemist and mineralogist at the University of Nashville, Tennessee.  Bowenite from New Zealand is traded under the name of Tangiwai.

Yellow - light green coloured Bownite is also called Retinalite or New Jade.
