The ancient Magatam symbol cut from nephrite jade!
Magatamas are among the oldest known forms of gemstones and amulets; historical finds from burial mounds are known to date back to around 1000 BC. Even today, the shape of the magatama is still important as a popular jewelry symbol. The symbol represents the human spirit and is considered a powerful amulet that provides effective protection against evil spirits.
Translated from Japanese, magatama means "curved pearl".
Size of the Magatama made of Nephrite 3.2 x 1.6 x 0.8 cm, diameter of the hole 3 mm.
Nephrite jade as a strand for threading necklaces and bracelets is rather unusual - and yet the gemstone healing aspects of the mineral are so interesting: Nephrite gives inner balance and thus shields against negative influences from outside. Brooding and fruitless thinking can be overcome more easily with Nephrite.
Nephrite can also be found on the market as Maori jade, nephrite jade, nefrite or New Zealand jade. In mineralogical terms, Nephrite is an actionolite with many small, interlocking crystals. Occurrence of the olive green color is due to iron and chromium.
