Nephrite Jade is believed to promote deep peace, balance and strength in its wearers, offering physical and emotional well-being, especially during unpleasant or difficult situations.

Nephrite Jade is one of several durable stones called "pounamu" by the Maori, and is highly valued among them as a taonga (treasure). Pounamu, shaped into both tools and ornaments, gain prestige and social value as they are handed down through the generations.
