Jade

Sacred to both the Chinese and the Mayans, this stone is said to bless everything it touches. Often used to carve sacred artifacts, such as statues of the Gods, it invokes wisdom, peace, harmony and devotion to one's higher purpose. Said to be a "dream-stone," jade placed under one's pillow help in lucid dreaming. It aids the wearer in finding their life path and manifesting dreams into reality

See also Nephrite.

Jasper

Often worn by Shamans for protection of their bodies when on astral journeys, the nurturing energy of this stone energizes and strengthens, enhancing physical health. It helps the wearer to maintain a positive outlook. In hazardous circumstances it can aid the wearer in knowing what course of action to take. Jasper held in the hand, is said to relieve some of the pain of childbirth.

Jet

Jet is grounding and balancing, and as it also carries a negative electrical charge, is good for drawing power and knowledge to the bearer. It is also helpful in stabilizing finances, and is said to soothe migraines

Jet combined with Amber are the traditional stones of the Wiccan High Priesthood. See Amber for information on that use.
