Included in this lot is Nephrite Jade Whale Tail Sterling Silver Chain Pendant Necklace. This stone was immensely popular on both coasts of the early Americas. Mesoamerica also valued jade--it was a rare stone used only for the highest elites. The conquistadores discovered the natives using it, and samples brought back to Europe by them were identified as nephrite in 1780. This stone is also known as British Columbia jade. Nephrite jade is believed to promote deep peace, balance and strength, offering physical and emotional well-being, especially during unpleasant or difficult situations. Being named the stone of the kidneys, nephrite is believed to cure kidney stones. This pendant necklace is in very nice condition, lobster clasp has .925 marked, sterling silver chain has a delicate profile. No marring noted, measurement closed 8"L
