Lemurian Jade

In this post, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of Lemurian Jade, its uses, and the chakras it resonates with. You will also find here our recommended methods of cleansing and charging this crystal, as well as the best stones to pair with black Lemurian Jade. Let’s start.

Lemurian Jade is a black jade with gold-like specks on its surface. Famously mined only in one place in Peru, it’s also called Inca stone.

Jade stones have been revered by ancient cultures throughout the world, including civilizations in Mesoamerica. Thus, it’s not surprising that jade stones were used long ago because of their purported metaphysical abilities. The Aztecs, for instance, use jade stones as healing crystals. Even today in the modern world, many crystal healing enthusiasts believe that jade stones, particularly Lemurian Jade, could help them connect with the wisdom and spiritual teachings of these ancient cultures.

As you may know, the term “Lemurian” may be more or less a term used to market the crystal. It came from the name “Lemuria”, which was said to be a lost continent that existed in the Indian Ocean eons ago. However, it’s also used to refer to black jade with pyrite and quartz inclusions.

Lemurian Jade has a number of benefits. It helps you find valuable lessons in trying times while supporting you to become strong and resilient in the face of hardships.

Furthermore, it can be used to put one’s existence in the material and spiritual world into harmony, which is something that could be difficult because most of us tend to lean on one more than the other. Lemurian Jade aids us to find an equilibrium. It helps us delve deeper into the mysteries, guiding us toward the light as we wade through the darkness. Don’t mistake, however, that the darkness is unnecessary. For it is still needed, so we can understand ourselves better.

Lemurian Jade is often used in shamanic work and meditation. While it’s not impossible to have Lemurian Jade jewelry, it’s usually sold as tumbled stones. Therefore, when buying one, you will often encounter tumbled Lemurian Jade than ones that are fashioned into jewelry.

Lemurian Jade Chakras

Lemurian Jade connects with three chakras: the Root and the Heart Chakras.

• Root Chakra

  Located at the base of the spine, the Root Chakra serves as the seat of our physical identity and survival instincts. When this chakra is opened, we are grounded, we feel anchored to the Earth, and we feel secure.

• Heart Chakra

  Located at the center of the chest, the Heart Chakra controls our ability to love and receive love. When this chakra is activated, we are empathetic and kind not only towards others but to ourselves as well.

There are two main types of Lemurian Jade: Midnight Lemurian Jade and Shadow Lemurian Jade.

There’s not much difference between the two, except perhaps the coloring and a few of its abilities.

1. Midnight Lemurian Jade

   Midnight Lemurian Jade is darker in color and is almost primarily black. It helps with grounding, balance, and stability. It also aids in helping us move forward in life with courage.

2. Shadow Lemurian Jade

   Shadow Lemurian Jade has more gray, blue, and green colorations in it. This stone helps us acknowledge the shadowy truths within us and use this understanding to gain wisdom and move forward in life.

Lemurian Jade works well with other minerals, including following stones:

1.

   Ametrine works in balancing emotions and increasing mental clarity. Together with Lemurian Jade, the pair makes an excellent combination during stressful times.

2. 

   Rose Quartz

   Rose quartz is a well-known healing crystal for the mind, heart, and soul. When paired with Lemurian Jade, it becomes a potent crystal combination to heal emotional traumas.

3. 

   Black Tourmaline

   Black tourmaline helps you calm down and attain inner peace. Both stones can be used when you’re having a rough day mentally and emotionally.

4. 

   Smoky Quartz

   Smoky quartz is known to absorb negative energy. Paired with Lemurian Jade, they can cast out negative forces and vibrations in your surroundings.

5. 

   Obsidian

   Obsidian is a grounding and protective stone. It can be used together with Lemurian Jade as both could help shield you from negative energy.

Like most crystals, Lemurian Jade needs to be cleansed and charged regularly. However, avoid cleansing them using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the stone. Here are some methods we recommend:

• Full Moon

  Cleansing your stones with the full moon is an excellent way to remove negativity. At twilight, place your crystals on a windowsill or a place where they will be able to absorb the light of the moon (and its vibrations). Remove the stone the following morning before the sun gets too high into the sky. You can also place several stones on a grid to charge with a specific intention.

• Soapy Water

  Some stones can be cleaned in soapy water. When cleaning them, ensure that you use a gentle soap and carefully remove any dust or debris from the stone. After the stone is clean, rinse off the stone with lukewarm water and pat the stone down with a soft cloth.

• Smudging

  Smudging your stones will immediately remove negative energies, so it is important to open a window for them to leave if you are cleansing your crystals indoors. Simply light either used bundled or loose sage with a match then blow out the flame to produce smoke. Wave the stone through the smoke for 30 to 60 seconds to clear bad vibrations. Ensure you use a fire-safe bowl or plate for safety.

• Sound

  If you have large stones or a number of crystals, using sound may allow you to charge all of them at once. You can use Tibetan bells, a singing bowl, or tuning forks to create a vibrational tone that will fill the stone and renew them again. Play the sound for about 10 minutes to charge your crystals.

• Visualization

  Visualization is a safe and powerful way of charging any of your crystals. Take time to center your energy and ground yourself, then pick up the sone in your hands. Focus on filling your hands with a radiant light through visualization for a minute or two. Focus on removing the negativity from the stone, allowing it to be cleansed and recharged with purpose. You should be able to feel the energy within the stone shift into positivity.

Conclusion

Lemurian Jade is full of mystical powers, which could help you attain higher consciousness. It’s perfect for those people who have had a difficult life, as it helps them come to terms with their experiences so they can move forward in life with wisdom, courage, and joy.
