Blue Jade Tumble

Blue jade, also known as "ocean jade" or "sea jade," is a type of jadeite, a silicate mineral primarily composed of sodium, aluminum, and oxygen. Its distinctive blue coloration is attributed to the presence of trace elements such as iron or titanium within the crystal structure.

The origin of blue jade can vary, but it is commonly found in regions with known jade deposits, including Myanmar (formerly Burma), Guatemala, and parts of Central America. Blue jade is often sourced from riverbeds or alluvial deposits where it has been weathered and eroded from its primary host rock.

In terms of appearance, blue jade typically exhibits a range of blue shades, from pale sky blue to deeper hues reminiscent of the ocean. The stone can display variations in color intensity and may feature streaks or mottling caused by mineral impurities or structural irregularities.

Blue jade is prized for its smooth, polished surface and its ability to take a high polish, making it suitable for use in jewelry and ornamental carvings. Its translucent to opaque nature lends itself well to cabochon cutting, where the stone is shaped and polished into smooth, rounded domes or flat-backed gems.

Due to its striking color and association with tranquility and harmony, blue jade is often used in spiritual practices and holistic healing. It is believed to promote calmness, clarity of mind, and emotional balance, making it a popular choice for meditation and mindfulness practices.
