Jade

I bought a beautiful green jade necklace and I wore it today. Well to be honest I felt more dizsy then usual. Sort of out of balance. Could this be the jade. It kind of uprooted my day, as I couldnt think straight.

is it a light green necklace ?

if so its possible (and very likely) to be serpentine aka New Jade, which could explain the dizziness a bit

but of course ewven the best stones can make you feel bad if you wear them sans prior cleansing/recharging
and
or
if you wear a stone not fiotting your needs

Hey Czech... I have an old old jade bracelet - a solid bangle - of a pale toothpastey green jade which I got from an antique shop (well ok... he was buying items - probably illegally - from archaeologists and ameteur archaeologist from foreign countries, and selling them on... but thats still techinically an antique shop :razz:). Its very old and looks very well-worn.

Anyway, long story short - if I took a photo of it would you be able to tell me what kind of jade it is? Or is the description "toothepaste greeny-blue" enough? :b

its probably jade, i say probably, because jad eis best told by touch

the colours you describe do qualify it for either: jade or jadeite, which are both refered to as jade by the common people :)

tell me how it feels after cleansing

cleansing info is here:

and serpentine

you cannot tell easily by the colour whether it is 'new jade' serpentine or jade because the serpentimne comes in colours and shades of jade. the only way to get a little hold is a scratch test with a crystal point (quartz). if it is NOT scratchable its jade - meaning if no mark is left after scratching

if it is scratchable it may be or maybe not jade there only experts can say, and you need to touch it
