What You’re Actually Getting With “Jade” Points
I want to be upfront about something before you order: the word “jade” in the bulk crystal trade covers more ground than the gemological definition. True jade is one of two minerals. Nephrite is a calcium magnesium iron silicate (Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) in the amphibole group, dense and fibrous, with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. Jadeite is a sodium aluminum silicate (NaAlSi2O6) in the pyroxene group, harder at 6.5 to 7 and rarer, sourced primarily from Myanmar. Both are genuinely tough stones with thousands of years of cultural use behind them.
What you’ll frequently find in wholesale point lots labeled “jade” is serpentine, a softer magnesium silicate (Mohs 3 to 5) that shares jade’s waxy green appearance. It’s sold under names like new jade, olive jade, and Korean jade, which aren’t fraudulent if disclosed, but they’re not the same stone. At the price point and weight of this lot, serpentine is a real possibility. If hardness matters to you, a steel nail won’t scratch true jade but will scratch serpentine. The ritual and decorative value of these points doesn’t hinge on which one it is, but you deserve to know the distinction before you resell or display them.
In Chinese feng shui tradition, green jade has been associated with the wood element, linked to growth, renewal, and good fortune, for well over two thousand years. Jade carvings appear throughout Chinese imperial history as symbols of virtue and protective power. That cultural lineage is real regardless of whether a given stone is nephrite, jadeite, or serpentine marketed as jade. These points, with their polished faceted tops and natural rough bases, are a practical and visually strong addition to a retail display, an altar grid, a crystal flat, or a practitioner’s working collection.
How to Use This Lot
Three steps for sorting, cleansing, and placing your jade green points lot.
- Sort and arrange your points by size
Spread the lot on a flat surface and group the points by height and color depth. Pull the most uniform pieces for your retail display or altar grid, and set aside any smaller or rougher pieces for loose sale.
- Cleanse the points before use or display
Run the points under cool water briefly, then let them air dry on a towel. Because the finish is polished on top and natural on the base, water drainage is not an issue. Pat dry before placing on wood or fabric surfaces.
- Place points with intention in a grid or display
In Chinese feng shui tradition, green jade tones are associated with growth, balance, and good fortune. Point the tips upward to draw energy toward a space, or arrange in a circle with tips inward for a contained focal point.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this lot because the supplier is consistent on form quality. These points arrive with a genuine polished faceted tip and a stable natural base, which matters for retail bowl displays where you’re stacking and pulling individual pieces all day. The green color in the lot runs from lighter celadon to deeper forest tones, so there’s natural variation, and that’s not a defect. It’s what you expect from a natural stone cut to tower form.
One honest note: because this is a bulk lot sold by approximate weight, the exact count and individual point sizes will vary from batch to batch. If you need perfectly matched pieces for a specific display, you’ll want to photograph each order before committing product to packaging. For loose display, altar work, or high-volume retail flats, the variation is a feature, not a problem.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each lot is approximately 3 pounds, which typically yields a dozen or more points depending on size. Batches vary because these are natural stones, not uniform pieces. Exact count and sizing will differ from order to order.
Yes. These points have a polished faceted tip and a natural rough base, which makes them stable on a flat surface without a stand. The rough base also gives them a grounded look that works well on altars or in retail bowl displays.
