PROPERTIES OF JEWELS AND GEM STONES – J, L, M

 

Jade: Considered a sacred stone in China, where it is placed on altars to the sun and moon. Jade is also associated with Venus and worn to attract love and marriage. Jade is green in color and can be used for love, healing, longevity, wisdom, and to prolong life.

 

Jet: Again, this is not a stone but rather fossilized wood, millions of years old. Black as midnight, jet beads are often combined with amber beads and used for protection, psychic power, good luck, and health.

 

Lapis Lazuli: Prized by the ancient Egyptians for its royal blue color and flecks of golden pyrite. It is associated with the goddesses Isis, Venus, and Ishtar. Lapis brings joy, love, friendship, and courage and helps to protect against infidelity.

 

Moonstone: An opalescent blue or white feldspar. The moonstone is associated with the Goddess and lunar power. It is worn or carried for love, divination, protection, youth, and healing. Most Witches prize the moonstone above all others because of its connection to the Goddess.
