Write CommentsI like Jade but it is not a birthstone nor suitable for any Zodiac. So, how should I choose it?
Hi Denial, yes you are right that Jade is not specifically a traditional birthstone or a Zodiac charm. If you want to wear it then you should take an advice from your astrologer and show him your horoscope. Most of the astrologer recommends a gemstone after reading this horoscope deeply. So, you may also go for it. Best of Luck!
Jade is a traveler’s stone that protects the person while travelling. I want to gift it to my brother as most of his time goes touring. I want his journeys should go safe and secure. So should I buy this talisman for him? Please suggest.
Yeah Maira you may go for it but before that you should also have some words with your astrologer so that you may get the best. The gemstones do not suit every person so it will be good if you could consult first.
yeah Jennifer....you may try this gemstone after your astrologer recommend. I have also tuned this gemstone and for one year...it is quite beneficial for me...i am happy with it...so you may also move on...Best of Luck!!
