How Jade Can Improve Your Life - What Kind of Jade is Best for Me

If you have a special piece of jade that you wear, you know how that can make you feel so good!   It makes what you're wearing look more pretty or handsome, and you can enjoy the compliments from others when they tell you how much they like your jade.

And jade can improve your life.  That's the main reason I still sell jade online.  And of course making income from selling anything improves your life, but jade is more "personal".   Jade has been known for centuries to have positive qi energy,  good for body, mind and spirit.

Here's my story for today.   A family member has been very ill for quite a long time, and I have been committed to helping improve the health.  This person does not "believe" in jade, but I do, and if it helps me, it helps him, too.  Today I was rushing around getting things organized and cleaning up, making meals, doing laundry,  indoor and outdoor work.  While stupidly trying to do three things at the same time, I fell holding a heavy object, and twisted my ankle and knee.  I immediately got my jade roller and jade gua sha tool to gently scrape the area to curb swelling and blood building up, and then roll over the area with the jade roller.  Then I sat for awhile with ice packs on ankle and knee, and help my jade acu-ring and moved it around my hands and fingers to relieve stress.  It's been about 12 hours now since the accident, and no swelling or pain.

But the rest of the day was stressful and busy.  When I saw the sun setting, I went outside on the screened porch, played with my jade bangle bracelet to relieve stress and relax, and enjoyed the sunset.  My heart rate went back to normal and I felt peace and comfort inside. 

I realized it was time to get our my jade "problem solvers".   They are clearance jade balls and eggs that have a number on each one.  I have a list of "chores" that need to be done, and match the number I put on the jade ball or egg to the number of the chore.  For example, if I pull out ball with number 2, the number 2 card is to clean out a drawer or shelf in a room.  This process helps me do tasks that need to be done without wasting time deciding what to do first.  I started this "jade numbers" task when I was using clearance jade eggs and ben wa balls to put in the soil around plants that are not doing well.

"Jade numbers" match chore numbers to determine what task I will do

I'm a busy person and friends often tell me to take more time off from working on my jade web sites.  But they don't understand that photographing, listing, touching the jade for awhile is very calming and relaxing, and makes me feel good.

And that's why when people ask "what kind of jade should I get" I tell them to look over the style you are interested in, and if you find an item you keep coming back to look at, it makes you smile, and maybe drool a little, then that jade has the right kind of energy for you.

Is My Jade Real? Are My Jade Rollers REAL Jade?

This online business keeps me busy.  Products to photograph and list, orders to fill, customers who have many questions.  One of the most common questions: "is my jade real?". 

I also have a home and a husband, so that part of life is also time consuming.  And I have good friends and an active social life.

So I shop online a lot. 

I used to buy most of my clothes, accessories, and many other things on Amazon Prime.  It used to be easy to return items, like clothes that don't fit the way you think they will.   On Amazon I could request a return and refund, print a USPS label that would make it easy to return because it's easy and free to schedule a USPS pick up.  Now Amazon only gives UPS labels, and you have to take the package to a UPS drop off or store, because UPS charges for pick up.

That's when I started shopping at Ross store,  usually weekly, because it's close to home, and convenient.  I discovered that the clothes, shoes and most household products like towels, rugs, cookware cost less than Amazon's and I could touch them, try them on, and then know what I am getting.

A few weeks ago when I was shopping in the body and hair supplies at Ross, I saw a jade roller.  It was only $6.99 and I was surprised because that's cheaper than what I pay for my jade rollers, plus shipping from China.  The box was sealed, so I couldn't examine it, and I bought it.  This is what I got:

"Jade" Roller purchased at Ross store

The picture on the box looked like a "real" jade roller.  But the actual roller was very different, the color darker and not "glowing" like jade.    I sent this photo to my associate in China who works with our jade carver.   This is what he sent me:

"Fake" jade rollers, made from marble

Genuine natural traditional Chinese jade rollers.  Moderately translucent,
with good qi energyPlease note photos taken by our jade carver in
China on mobile phone, not edited, so the "real thing" is much nicer than the photo shows.  

 Real Chinese jade is a light-to-medium green and moderately translucent.  Sometimes when there is a supply of really "good green" jade, the jade carver makes some for me as "something special".    Yes, these "fake jade rollers" are nice and green, and they work like a roller should, but if you are looking for the good qi energy of real jade for health and healing, you get that only from "real jade". And real jade, "China's Traditional Jade", does cost more than marble or fake.

When you purchase jade rollers from Ying Yu Jade or Jade Heaven, or  JadeRollersWholesale, you are guaranteed to receive traditional genuine and natural jade, the kind of jade used by Chinese medicine doctors and people in China for centuries.

G&LW Wholesale Gem Jewelry Show 2019 - Buying and Selling Jade

The November G&LW Wholesale Gem Jewelry Show and Sale was this weekend in Orlando.  If you read previous posts, you know I have a tremendous supply of jade that I am pricing lower to get it sold and worn rather than sitting in a storage box.  I was hoping to find a few items from my favorite jade sellers, but determined to very picky and selective  about anything I purchased. 

Only one of the five jade sellers I usually buy from were there at this show.  And the seller had very similar items I purchased last time, but the prices have almost tripled.  My customers like jadeite bead bracelets and I have purchased strings of beads 8-12 mm that are genuine and natural Burmese jadeite and have them made into bracelets.   That was disappointing, but them I realized that if he increased his prices, jade might be increasing in value and higher selling prices.

I wandered through the show and resisted the temptation to buy gemstones and jewelry for myself.  Halfway through the vendors, I stood back and partially closed my eyes to get a "feel" for the energy of the vendors.  It led me to a vendor who was selling metal bowls, the "singing bowls".  I have several and use them for meditation, absorbing the vibrations which are healing.  Of course they were so "modern" and didn't have all the variety of metal in them that the older ones do, but still a good sound.  I knew I have better at home.

So much has changed in the 20+ years I've been doing qigong, taiji, yoga, Reiki and it sure doesn't feel like "my world" anymore!

Then I saw a gem seller who had a small bangle holder with a few Burmese jadeite bangle bracelets on it.  I picked up the first one and knew right away it was not grade A because of the dull chime, and asked the price:  $3000   I told her that seemed a very high price for B or C grade jadeite, and she wanted to know how I knew it wasn't grade A.  I showed her the jade bangle I was wearing, and this Chinese woman then knew I knew what I was talking about.  She offered to sell it tome for $1500.  I smiled and walked away.

A few aisles over I again saw a Chinese woman with several of the bangle bars on her stand, and they were all grade A.  They were like the "Modern Jade" we sell, with certificates of Chinese gemology testing.  Her prices started at $500.  That's wholesale price.  It's traditional for sellers to make their price approximately three times what you paid for it.  You have the price you paid, the costs for photography, listing it and the costs of web sites, insurance, shipping,  advertising, and the costs you pay to accept credit cards, which means you also pay state taxes on the amount it is sold for,  which is close to the cost you paid.  So the profit is hopefully one third for the seller. 

(When I'm having a "make an offer" sale, and have a jade that I list as $500,  and someone offers me $100, I cannot accept it because that doesn't even cover the cost of what I paid for it, so that's why your offer may be declined)

I didn't see anyone buying from her every time I checked back, but I would guess someone would want to buy a jade bangle for their personal use or as a gift, but not to re-sell.  I was very inspired talking with her and learning she uses the jadeite to draw buyers to her other gem and jewelry items.  And makes me wonder if I should continue to promote "make an offer" and continue lowering prices, because my Burmese jadeite bangle bracelets are as pretty, the "old mine" ones much more valuable. The reality is that I truly do want the jade I sell to be worn by someone who loves it, rather than sitting in a storage box.  The jade I sell is like an investment, will increase in value, but jade is more than about money:  it's the good qi energy and traditional of wearing jade.
