Properties
PERUVIAN BLACK JADE (also called Lemurian jade)
Black jade is a stone of energetic protection, sometimes known as a "guardian stone". It can support self control, wisdom, and balance. This stone can help integrate your shadow self and do some reflection around our vulnerabilities and unpacking unconscious beliefs. Black jade will support you being at peace with both yourself and those around you. It's soothing during periods of long term stress and disruptive events.
Mineralogy
This soft, porous nephrite is mined near the capital of Lima. This material often comes with pyrite sparkles or fine lines of pyrite included, which is unique and helps identify it.
Sourcing
These are from a trusted Peruvian supplier who insures that all workers from mine to lapidary are treated ethically (good pay, safety measures, etc). They are incredibly transparent about their practices and champion more ethical measures across the industry.

AVOID WATER & SELF CARE PRODUCTS
Avoid exposure to water (especially saltwater and chlorine), lotions, sprays, soap, etc because they can damage the elastic over time - and this can lead to snapping. Even the oils and sweat on our skin can wear out the elastic eventually.
Remove your bracelet when bathing, swimming, doing the dishes, etc. These activities can also dull the crystals.
STORAGE + CLEANING
Every bracelet comes with an organic cotton pouch for safe storage when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause crystals to fade over time. Keep your bracelet out of reach of children and pets, as they can easily snap the elastic.
Use a soft cloth (like microfiber) to wipe off oils, dust, or dirt. Avoid soap or harsh chemicals, and just use a damp cloth if needed. Allow your crystal bracelet to dry before wearing it again.
REMOVE BEFORE ROUGH ACTIVITIES
Avoid getting your bracelet caught on things by removing it before doing activities like playing with kids or dogs, yard work, exercise, etc. You can also wear them on your non-dominant hand to reduce chances of getting caught and snapping.
GENTLE HANDLING
The elastic can snap if handled roughly. Gently roll your bracelet over your hand when putting it on or taking it off, and avoid pulling or stretching too hard.
