ShareJadeite Stone (Nephrite Jade – Vyomashma) – The Astrological and Ayurvedic Benefits
Introduction
Jade is an ornamental stone. It is a very hard stone that comes from India through Ladakh and Kashmir. It is yellowish-gray, green or greenish or greenish white. The yellowish green and hard variety is considered best. It is used to make mortars which are considered good for making Pishti of gems. The term jade is applied to two different metamorphic rocks that are made up of different silicate minerals:
Nephrite: It consists of a microcrystalline interlocking fibrous matrix of the calcium, magnesium-iron-rich amphibole mineral series tremolite (calcium-magnesium) ferro actinolite (calcium-magnesium-iron). The higher the iron content the greener the color.
Jadeite: It is a sodium- and aluminum-rich pyroxene. The gem form of the mineral is a microcrystalline interlocking crystal matrix.
Nephrite and jadeite:
Nephrite and jadeite were used from prehistoric periods for hard stone carving. Jadeite has about the same hardness as quartz, while nephrite is somewhat softer. It was not until the 19th century that a French mineralogist determined that jade was two different materials. As metal-working technologies became available, the beauty of jade made it valuable for ornaments and decorative objects. Jadeite possesses a hardness of 6.0 and 7.0 and Nephrite between 6.0 and 6.5. Among the earliest known jade artifacts excavated from prehistoric sites are simple ornaments with beads, buttons, and tubular shapes. Additionally, jade was used for adze heads, knives, and other weapons, which can be delicately shaped. It is prominently found in the area of Mogaung in the Myitkyina District of Upper Myanmar. It has been quarried and exported from this place for well over a hundred years. Canada provides the major share of modern lapidary nephrite. Nephrite jade was used mostly in pre-1800 China as well as in New Zealand, the Pacific Coast and Atlantic Coasts of North America, Neolithic Europe, and Southeast Asia. In addition to Mesoamerica, jadeite was used by Neolithic Japanese and European cultures.

Its mortar is very fine and non-abrasive, it makes fine grinding of gemstones. This stone is very popular among Chinese people. Till 4- 5 hundred years ago, this stone was so respected in China that no one except the kings could wear its garland, no matter how rich they were. In China, jade stone is also attractive to mistresses. For marital happiness, both men and women wear this stone. People following the Buddhist religion consider Jade as a blessed gem given by Lord Buddha. By putting a piece of Vyomashama in water and making the patient drink that water, Buddhist patients believe that Lord Buddha himself is healing him and Chinese and Japanese Buddhists often benefit. Many pieces of nephrite from Siberia are safe in the museums of Britain and Germany etc. which weigh several tons. According to the Chinese people, Harin Mani is the archetype of all gems. These include 5 main qualities. Charity, humility, courage, justice, and wisdom, by wearing it the body becomes strong, fatigue goes away and life increases.
Astrological View of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
उपरत्न वर्ग के खनिजपाषाण में काठिन्य, चमक, पारदर्शकता रत्नो की अपेक्षा कम गुणवाले होते है। इनका मूल्य भी कम होता है। अतः इन्हें उपरत्न कहा जाता है। उपरत्नों की संख्या में मतभिन्नता है- आनन्दकन्दकार ने 9 उपरत्न माने है। जबकि आयुर्वेदप्रकाशकार ने 15 उपरत्न माने है। बृहद योगतरंगिणीकार ने 4 ही उपरत्न माने है। रसतरंगिणीकार ने छः उपरत्न माने है। आनन्दकन्दकार ने विमल, सस्यक, कान्त एवं तारकान्त को भी उपरत्न में शामिल कर दिया है। बृहत् योग तरंगिणीकार ने मुक्ता प्रवाल को भी उपरत्न वर्ग में मानकर और भी भ्र्म पैदा किया है। आयुर्वेद प्रकाशकार ने ५ प्रचलित उपरत्नो के अतिरिक्त १० नए उपरत्न को इस वर्ग में शामिल किया है परन्तु सबसे अधिक रस तरंगिणी का मत ही प्रचलित है।

Types of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade) as per Astrology
As per astrology, no types of Jade are mentioned.
Types of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
Mineralogists identify two varieties of Vyomasma:
- Jadeite (Abundant in China)
- Nephrite (Abundant in New Zealand)
Jadeite Jade: Jadeite is one of the main varieties of Vyomasma and it is very famous among gemmologists for its translucency and vibrant colors. Jadeite Vyomasma occurs in various colors like lavender, yellow, green, white, etc . The most famous color of the jadeite is emerald green. The jadeite type of Vyomasma is a rarer variety than the nephrite type of jade as it has interlocking crystals in it which make it harder and rarer. In Myanmar particularly and along with this in other Asian cultures Vyomasma is highly valued.
Nephrite Jade: The other variety of Vyomasma that is also famous is Nephrite Vyoma Sma which is famous for its toughness and durability. Nephrite occurs in various shades of white, gray, and green. The nephrite variety of Vyomasma is mainly composed of mineral tremolite or actinolite. This variety of jade is very famous in Chinese culture, and it represents good luck, purity, and protection.
Less recognized varieties of Jade are as follows:
Black Jade: Due to the presence of graphite or other dark minerals, a variety of Vyomasma exhibits deep black color and this variety of jade is very rare and known as Black jade.
Maw-sit-sit: One variety of Myanmar consists of albite, chromite, and jadeite and is considered a unique variety of Jade/ Vyomasma. This variety of Jade features an olive-to-green color with dark green or black patches.
Serpentine Jade: Serpentine Jade is not a true jade but serpentine closely resembles nephrite therefore it is sometimes referred to as a variety of jade. This variety of jade occurs in various shades of green, often used in carvings.
Synonyms of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
Vyomasma, Yasab Shila, Harinmani, Haritasma
Etymology of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
The English word jade (alternative spellings jaid, jadeite) is derived (via French l’ jade and Latin ilia from the Spanish term piedra de Tejada (first recorded in 1565) or loin stone, from its reputed efficacy in curing ailments of the loins and kidneys. Nephrite is derived from lapis nephritis, the Latin version of the Spanish piedra de Tejada.

Formation of the Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
Vyomasma is a revered Upratna known for its vibrant green hues and Vyomasma is formed through a geological process known as metamorphism. The formation of jadeite is as follows:
Formation of Jadeite Jade: The variety of Jade that is famous with the name Jadeite, forms under higher pressure and lower temperatures than the nephrite variety of jade. The place where one plate is forced beneath the other into the Earth’s mantle and where tectonic plates collide i.e. that subduction zone, the formation of Jadeite Upratna occurs. Extreme pressure in the jadeite causes them to undergo metamorphism and transform into jadeite jade.
Formation of Nephrite Jade: Nephrite Upratna is formed under high pressure and moderate temperature when mineral-rich fluids permeate through pre-existing rocks, typically serpentine or other calcium-rich rocks. Over time, the mineral-rich fluids interact with the minerals like serpentine and calcium in the rock, which results in a change in chemical composition and creates a new characteristic in the mineral i.e. interlocking fibrous structure which makes it nephrite jade/ Vyomasma.Geological Conditions for Jade Formation: The presence of precursor rocks such as serpentine or calcium-rich rocks, the right combination of pressure and temperature, and the presence of mineral-rich fluids are the geological conditions that are specifically required for the types of Jade i.e. Jaedite and nephrite.
Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade) Aayu (Life Span of Jade)
Reference: Rasa Jala Niddhi. 3/ 4, Ratna Dhatu Vigyana
न जरां यान्ति रत्नानि मौक्तिकं विद्रुमं बिना।
Though the gemstones of mineral origin are eternal, the Exception is Mukta (pearl) has a limited lifespan, and also Vidruma- coral. After a few years, it grows old and eventually loses its character, but other gemstones are eternal, but they also need to be maintained and revitalization of them is necessary to get maximum benefits.
आयु- कुछ समय पश्चात् काल प्रभाव से प्रवाल, मुक्ता खराब हो जाते है। किन्तु अन्य रत्नों पर काल का प्रभाव नहीं होता है।
Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade) – Aayu after Dharana (Life Span of Jade after Assumption)
It is believed by scholars that the following gemstones have effectiveness Diamond life span is 10 years, Ruby/ Manik’s 12 years, Yellow Sapphire/ Pukhraj’s lifespan is 15 years, Blue Sapphire/ Neelam’s life span is 15 years, Emerald/ Panna’s life is 12 years, Coral, Hessonite Garnet and Cat’s Eye’s lifespan is 3 to 5 years, Natural Pearl life span is 12 years.
All the other Uparatnas and other semi-precious alternate gemstones are said to have a lifespan of 3 years.
Over some time, when gemstones i.e. precious and semi-precious stones are worn these gems start to get scratches on their surface, and even start losing their high polishing due to which sun rays stop passing through the gems (Ratna) When these precious gems are wear for a long period a greasy layer starts to deposit on their surface which is probably a mixture of lubricants, oils and other materials that a wearer come in contact with it. As the deposition starts to get thicker with time, it even blocks the rays (different wavelengths) that these stones receive from the planets to give effect. Although gemstones are forever yes, their effectiveness for astrological purposes falls and therefore proper and regular maintenance is important.
Therefore, we can consider the life span of semi-precious stone Jadeite/ Haritashma/ Yasab Sila/ Vyomasma/ Nephrite/ Yashavshila (Jade) to be 3 years.

Occurrence or Places of Availability of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
The gemstone that is known for its green color is Haritashma or jade and is used in jewelry and astrological purposes. It is found in different parts of the world, including Myanmar, Guatemala, Yarkhand, New Zealand, Russia and China. The occurrence of Vyomasma depends on different geological factors like appropriate pressure and temperature and the presence of specific rocks like nephrite and serpentine. In India, it is found in Ladakh and Kashmir.
It is prominently found in the area of the Mogaung in the Myitkyina District of Upper Myanmar. It has been quarried and exported from this place for well over a hundred years. Canada provides the major share of the modern lapidary nephrite. Nephrite jade was used mostly in pre-1800 China as well as in New Zealand, the Pacific Coast and Atlantic coast of North America, Neolithic Europe, and Southeast Asia.

Purification of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)
Reference: Ayurvediya Rasa Shastra – Dr Siddhi Nandan Mishra
Vyomashma is made into small pieces and kept in an earthen plate (Sharava), heated and decoction of Arjuna bark i.e. Terminalia arjuna bark is poured into it. Heating is continued till the liquid portion is evaporated. Again, the decoction is added and heated till the material becomes hot. This process is done 21 times. Rose water or distillate Gaujaban can also be used in the place of the Arjuna Tvak Kwath.
व्योमश्म को छोटे-छोटे टुकड़ों में बनाकर मिट्टी की थाली में रखकर गर्म किया जाता है और उसमें अर्जुन की छाल का काढ़ा डाला जाता है। गर्म करना तब तक जारी रखा जाता है जब तक कि तरल भाग वाष्पित न हो जाए। फिर से, काढ़ा मिलाया जाता है और तब तक गर्म किया जाता है जब तक सामग्री गर्म न हो जाए। यह प्रक्रिया 21 बार की जाती है। अर्जुन त्वक क्वाथ के स्थान पर गुलाब जल या डिस्टिलेट गौजबन का भी उपयोग किया जा सकता है।
Incineration of Jadeite / Haritashma / Yasab Sila / Vyomashma / Nephrite / Yashavshila (Jade)

Heliyon. 8. e11493. 10. 1016/ j. heliyon. 2022. e11493. The elemental composition, mineral phases, and crystalline structure of nephrite jade were investigated using calibration-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (CF- LIBS), Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). For compositional analysis, the laser-induced plasma was generated on the surface of nephrite jade. The plasma emissions were then acquired and analyzed, which revealed several elements in the sample, including Si, Mg, Ca, Li, Fe, Al, Na, K, and Ni. The plasma temperature was extracted from the Boltzmann plot before and after two-step self-absorption correction and used in CF- LIBS calculations to get the elemental concentration. After self-absorption correction, the quantitative results obtained using CF- LIBS were found to be in close agreement with ICP- OES. The Raman spectrum of nephrite jade exhibits Si- O and M- OH stretching vibrations in the regions of 100 cm⁻¹ to 1200 cm⁻¹ and 3600 cm⁻¹ to 3700 cm⁻¹, respectively, whereas the XRD spectrum revealed the monoclinic crystalline phase of tremolite.

Applied Sciences. 10. 3390/ app- 11031346. Jade, a popular gemstone symbolizing beauty, grace, and longevity, is known to improve blood circulation; however, scientific research evidence is still lacking. The effect of black jade extract on the expression levels of apoptotic and osteogenic genes was validated using qPCR and flow cytometry. In combination with the use of a fluorescence microscope, osteogenic differentiation, and the stained osteocyte count were analyzed. Under the pressure of benzo-pyrene, dermal cell apoptosis was accelerated and the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) was suppressed, but black jade extract counteracted the effects. Through an anti-apoptotic mechanism, the extract suppressed the expression of apoptotic proteins Bax and cytochrome C to 9 and 4.8 times, respectively, compared to that in dermal cells exposed to benzo(a)pyrene. During osteogenic differentiation of ASCs, the extract enhanced their differentiation despite being exposed to benzo-pyrene, and the relative levels of the osteoblast differentiation markers osteopenia, osteocalcin, and sclerostin were 1.87, 2.54, and 3.9 times higher, respectively than those in the conditioned medium by benzopyrene. These effects of the extract indicate that black jade extract is very useful when applied as a functional biomaterial.

Raman spectroscopy is a useful tool for the identification of bleached and polymer-impregnated jadeites (so-called B jade). The major advantage of this system over classical methods of gem testing is the non-destructive identification of inclusions in gemstones and the determination of organic fracture filling in jade. Fissures in jadeites have been filled with oils and various resins to enhance their clarity, such as paraffin wax, paraffin oil, AB glue, and epoxy resins. They show different peaks depending on their chemical composition. The characteristic spectrum ranges from 1, 200- 1, 700 cm-1 to 2, 800- 3, 100 cm-1. The spectra of resins show that they all have four strongest peaks related to phenyl: two C- C stretching modes at 1,116 and 1,609 cm-1, respectively, one C-H stretching mode at 3,069 cm-1, and an in-plane C-H bending mode at 1,189 cm-1. In addition, the other two -CH2, and -CH3 stretching modes at 2,906 and 2,869 cm-1, respectively, are very similar to paraffin. Therefore, the peaks at 1,116, 1,609, 1,189, and 3,069 cm-1 are important in distinguishing resin from paraffin, and we can identify B jade depending on them.

Gemcitabine plus cisplatin versus gemcitabine alone in the treatment of pancreatic cancer: A meta-analysis. World Journal of Surgical Oncology. 14. 10. 1186/ s12957- 016- 0813- 9. Pancreatic cancer ranks as the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the USA. And gemcitabine has been the standard of care for advanced pancreatic cancer. However, a combined use of gemcitabine plus cisplatin (Gem-Cis) has shown promising efficacies in pancreatic cancer patients. Here, a system review and meta-analysis were performed to compare the efficacy and safety of Gem- Cis versus gemcitabine (Gem) alone in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The databases of MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched for retrieving the relevant publications before 31 September 2014. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS) and secondary end points included 6-month survival, 1-year survival, overall response rate (ORR), clinical benefit rate (CBR), time to progression/progression-free survival (TTP/ PFS), and toxicities. A total of nine randomized controlled trials involving 1354 patients were included for systematic evaluations. Overall, as compared with Gem alone, Gem- Cis significantly improved the 6- month survival rate (relative risk (RR) = 1.303, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.090– 1.558, P = 0.004), ORR (RR = 1.482, 95 % CI 1.148– 1.913, P = 0.003), PFS/ TTP (hazard ratio (HR) = 0.87; 95 % CI 0.78– 0.93, P = 0.022), and the overall toxicities (RR = 2.164, 95 % CI 1.837– 2.549, P = 0.000). However, no significant difference existed in overall survival (HR = 0.90, 95 % CI 0.80–1.42, P = 1.02), 1-year survival rate (RR = 0.956, 95 % CI 0.770–1.187, P = 0.684), and CBR (RR = 0.854, 95 % CI 0.681–1.072, P = 0.175). As for grade III/ IV toxicity, seven kinds of toxicities were higher in the Gem-Cis group. However, no significant inter-group statistical differences existed in the incidence of leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or diarrhea.
- Despite a higher incidence of three-fourths toxicity, Gem- – Cis offers better outcomes of ORR, PFS/ TTP, and 6- 6-month survival, which indicates GemCis may be a promising therapy for pancreatic cancer.

The mineralogical properties of black nephrite jade from Western Australia are studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy using both transmission and specular reflectance techniques in the 4000– 400 cm-1 wavenumber region. The infrared absorption peaks in the 3700– 3600 cm-1 region which are due to the O–H stretching mode provide a quantitative analysis of the Fe/ (Fe+ Mg) ratio in the mineral composition of jade samples. The Fe/ (Fe+Mg) percentage in black nephrite is found to be higher than that in green nephrite, but comparable to that of actinolite (iron-rich nephrite). This implies that the mineralogy of black nephrite is closer to actinolite than tremolite. The jade is also characterized using Raman spectroscopy in the 1200– 200 cm-1 region. Results from FTIR and Raman spectroscopic data of black nephrite jade are compared with those of green nephrite jade from New Zealand and jadeite jade from Myanmar. Black nephrite appears to have a slightly different chemical composition from green nephrite. Spectra from FTIR and Raman spectroscopic techniques were found to be useful in differentiating black nephrite, green nephrite, and green jadeite jades. Furthermore, data on refractive index, specific gravity, and hardness of black nephrite jade are measured and compared with those of green nephrite and jadeite jade.
