There are two types of Jade: Nephrite and Jadeite. The important property of all Jade is its toughness. Toughness in this context is the opposite of brittleness, and is a quite different property to hardness, which is simply resistance of a material to scratching. Diamond is the hardest substance in the world, but Jade is the toughest!
Metaphysical Properties: Nephrite Jade is a stone of the heart. It is said to have a beneficial effect on all heart related issues, and all love relationships. Nephrite Jade is also considered to be good for emotional balance and stability.
