It occurs in crystalline schists and as pebbles. METAPHYSICAL DATA Affirmation: I love life, and it flows through me in ever-greater abundance.

Historically, Green Jade has been used for both tools and ornamentation, representing mastery of, and joy in, all aspects of the physical world. It teaches one to be master of one’s money, instead of money being one’s master. It fosters wholesome and stead growth of one’s chi, or life-force energies. It is recommended that one try wearing or carrying Green Jade when hiking, gardening, or relaxing out of doors, because it draws upon the Earth’s life force and imbues one’s auric field with that energy.

It reminds one to smell the flowers, touch someone you love, and share your abundant heart with others. It can help those who reject the physical world in a belief that suffering is holy.
