About Jade:
There are two varieties of Jade: Jadeite, a sodium aluminum silicate; and Nephrite, a calcium magnesium iron silicate. Green is the color most associated with Jade, but Jadeite comes in a variety of colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, lilac, pink, black, white, and brown; and Nephrite ranges in color from mid to dark green or grey-green, white, yellowish or reddish. Jade can be found in Japan, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Guatemala, and in California and Alaska within the United States.
Healing Properties:
Jade: Considered the most precious of all stones in ancient Egypt and even now in Japan and the Orient. It is credited with five qualities: clarity, courage, justice, wisdom, and modesty. It is folklored to evoke tranquility, so much so that even holding Jade in your hand may cause a feeling of serenity or wisdom.

Turquoise: Known as a master healer stone, with the ability to repair physical injury, mental strife and even past life trauma.

The mala is just beautiful and so is the pretty bag it came with. It arrived in Illinois really quickly, and customer support helped me figure out how to adjust how tight the beads are strung. I will say that it has 111 beads, not 108. I was confused for a while and thougjt I was counting wrong somehow at first. I’m not sure why – if the turquoise beads don’t count somehow? Anyway, I just started skipping them when I felt the spacers when chanting mantras. To me, it’s about going with the flow, so I decided there’s a lesson in adjusting my practice to the new mala. :)
