Yellow Jade Top Polished Point

Top polished cut. Natural rough sides with a polished upper face, showing both the raw stone and its warm interior.

Honestly named. A trade name stone, usually serpentine or a jade adjacent material, disclosed plainly rather than sold on the borrowed word.

Each piece unique. Size, shade, and inclusions vary; sourced from Pakistan and sold individually.

• Stone: yellow jade (trade name; commonly yellow serpentine or a jade adjacent stone, not nephrite or jadeite)
• Cut: top polished point, rough sides
• Origin: Pakistan; each piece varies in size, color, and inclusions
• SKU: GPTJADY

What this stone inherits, it inherits by association with the jade tradition, and honesty asks us to hold that lightly: the deep correspondences of jade in Cunningham and in Chinese practice belong to true nephrite and jadeite, and a trade name cousin borrows their warmth without owning their papers. So we leave the formal correspondence fields blank and describe the stone on its own terms. In modern practice, warm yellow stones are kept for cheer, morale, and sufficiency, the quiet sense of having enough, and the top polished point is a desk and altar cut: the rough sides say the stone is real earth, the polished face and point say where the attention goes. It does that work honestly, which is the only way we sell it.

1. Cleanse it on arrival with smoke, sound, or moonlight.
2. Stand it on a desk or altar where warm color is wanted, point up.
3. Anchor morale and sufficiency workings with it, naming what is already enough.
4. Dust with a soft cloth and keep it from knocking against harder stones.

• Sunstone Free Form, ~0.5 lb: the genuinely solar stone in the same warm register.
• Flat of Citrine Points, ~2 kg: sunny points by the tray.
• Yellow Agate Chips, 1 lb: the warm register in volume format.
• White Selenite Wand: a cleansing rest between workings.
• White Sage Smudge Stick: the arrival cleanse.

Is yellow jade real jade?

Usually not. Yellow jade is a trade name, and stones sold under it are commonly yellow serpentine or another jade adjacent material rather than nephrite or jadeite. We say so plainly rather than let the name do work it has not earned.

What is a top polished point?

A cut that leaves the sides rough and polishes the upper face and point, showing the stone raw and finished at once. It stands on its own for desk or altar display.

What is it kept for?

Cheer, morale, and sufficiency, the modern register of warm yellow stones. We leave the formal jade correspondences to true jade and describe this stone on its own honest terms.

Will mine match the photo?

No two do. Each point varies in size, shade, and inclusions, which is the nature of the material.

How do I care for it?

Gently: a soft cloth, smoke or moonlight to cleanse, and storage away from harder stones. Skip long soaks, since serpentine family stones prefer to stay dry.
