Is Ying Yu Jade "Real Jade"?


I read that diamonds and gemstones can be created in factories using machines that mimic the pressure needed to produce natural stones.  They may be chemically identical but not have the Qi energy many jade lovers want and need.

I see jade listings many on eBay, Etsy and more that are very translucent, and colors that have been natural, like lavender, pink, blue that claim to be “genuine and natural”.  And some jadeite tested shows “natural”. But we can tell most is not.

Most of the jadeite was formed in jade mines in Burma/Myanmar but mines were destroyed during the political battles that started years ago. Asian countries are now creating “jadeite.  Most Chinese jade that was naturally created is still in Northern China.

We are members of Better Business Bureau.  And customer service is very important for us, so our descriptions are honest.

 JADE NEEDLES  are used as an alternative to invasive skin piercing needless for "acupuncture without needles". Acupuncture without needles is indicated for babies and children, chronic illness, people who fear having needles used on them, and for practitioners who do not use invasive techniques

Jade needles can also be used as a self help treatment for your patients. While you wouldn't give them a pack of acupuncture needles to take home, you can sell a jade needle and teach them to use it to accelerate their treatment.

For example, a patient diagnosed with excess sugar and spleen damage, who has bunions, what the Japanese refer to as "sugar foot" may benefit from acupuncture or acupressure at SP2. It may be too painful to perform tui na acupressure, but a jade needle will stimulate SP2. You can teach your patient to locate SP2 and they can use a jade needle for daily treatment until their next appointment with you.

Jade has been used in Chinese medicine practice for centuries because of the strong relationship between jade qi and body qi. If you are an intuitive practitioner, the jade qi will help you locate the appropriate acupuncture point and you will feel the qi connection when it is on the point. Chinese jade healing tools include jade gua sha tools, jade rollers, pointers for acupoint stimulation, jade combs, and jade ben wa balls and jade eggs for kegel exercise

Use basic tui na massage techniques with the jade needles.
  
To use jade needles on acupoints that should be gently stimulated, like H7 Shen Men for insomnia, anxiety, and palpitations, place the jade needle on H7 and gently press for 5 seconds, then release for 5 seconds, and continue until you feel the qi flow smoothly.

To stimulate a point more strongly, for example BL 13 Fei Shu for asthma, press the jade needle more deeply and using a twisting motion for 10-15 second, then release and repeat until the qi flows smoothly. 

Clean the jade needles with soap and water, or using other disinfectant. Store them carefully so they don't become chipped or cracked. Never boil jade.

 “Fake Jade” Is Not In Our Stores: How Fake Jade Is Made

I read an article in Orlando Sentinel that diamonds and gemstones can be created in factories using machines that mimic the pressure needed to produce natural stones.  They may be chemically identical but not have the Qi energy many jade lovers want and need.

I see jade listings many on eBay, Etsy and more that are very translucent, and colors that have been natural, like lavender, pink, blue that claim to be “genuine and natural”.  And some jadeite tested shows “natural”. 

Most of the jadeite was formed in jade mines in Burma/Myanmar but mines were destroyed during the political battles that started years ago. Asian countries are now creating “jadeite.  Most Chinese jade that was naturally created is still in Northern China.

The photo shows me shopping years ago in southern China with the vice president of jade several years ago, before “fake jade” became common.



If you love jewelry and see something you really want, get it!  But if you want jade that has Qi energy, and is genuine and natural, you will find it in our stores.  There is still some jade items purchased years ago that are not listed.  I sure enjoyed going to China for many years to purchase jade (and much more!).
