Black jade is an unusual variation of the traditional green mineral.
In Ancient China, it was endowed with the strongest magical and healing qualities. This stone was valued more than gold and was available only to the highest nobility and members of the imperial family. In Asia, amulets and talismans were made from jade. It was ground into powder, mixed with herbs and taken as an elixir of longevity. Jade jewelry was considered the most valuable treasure, as it not only healed, but also protected its owner.
Where is black jade mined?
A blue-black mineral with a neat waxy or oily sheen is quite rare in nature. Its main deposits are located in Russia (Buryatia) and China (Shandong). Considering the high popularity of this stone among the inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom, most of the mined Russian stone is imported to China.
Black jade is most often found in places where magnetic ores occur. This gave rise to a version about the extraterrestrial origin of the stone. Some researchers believe that this mineral is nothing more than fragments of a meteorite that survived a collision with the earth more than 60 million years ago. As evidence, scientists point to a chemical composition containing iridium, which is an indicator of the meteorite origin of the rocks.
It is worth noting that the extraction of the dark variety of jade is carried out too intensively and, according to experts, the reserves of this stone in both Russia and China are already running out. This is the reason for the sharp increase in the cost of “black jade” in the Asian market of semi-precious minerals.
Opposite point of view
But there is another side to the coin: in some cases, the Bianshi black jade bracelet turned out to be powerless. Negative reviews concern some diseases, which, as it turns out, are not affected by the power of the mineral. We are talking about hypotension - low blood pressure, ophthalmological diseases, mental disorders. The nugget does not help with elephantiasis; it is not able to solve some skin problems - the presence of papillomas and warts.
Some buyers claim that they did not feel even the slightest effect from using the bracelet. Their opponents are trying to convince them that the “wrong” product is to blame. Simply put, users are faced with a fake, of which there are so many on the modern market. They may have failed to achieve results due to improper use of the bracelet, for example when its use was short or irregular. Be that as it may, there are indeed much fewer negative reviews than positive ones. So we can conclude: in most cases the bracelet “works”.
Physical properties of the stone
The main elements of the chemical composition of black stone are iron, magnesium and calcium silicate. The color palette ranges from dark olive to charcoal. The depth of the shade is determined by the content of iron oxide and graphite.
Despite its moderate hardness level (6 points on the Mohs scale), jade is one of the hardest gems, surpassing granite and steel in strength. This is explained by the special structure in which the iridium crystal lattice is present. Thanks to this, the mineral demonstrates high resistance to mechanical stress and abrasion. “Black Jade” does not react with acids, and most importantly, it emits infrared waves.
Interesting! The latter property explains many of the healing characteristics of the stone. Ultrasound radiation and infrared electromagnetic waves activate cellular metabolism and have a positive effect on its participants.
Two more useful properties of stone are thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The mineral can not only retain heat for a long time, but also transfer it to a neighboring object.
Interesting Facts
Basically, the Bianshi stone affects the blood - its condition and quality. Black jade, reviews of which are positive, helps restore a weak body and eliminate diseases precisely through the active flow of this vital substance. Apply the product to the artery - this way the beneficial influence of Bianshi will spread throughout the body, reaching even its most remote corners. They say a jade necklace works great. Being on the neck, it comes into contact with large vessels. But some people prefer a bracelet to beads, since the former put a lot of pressure on the neck. Unfortunately, the necklace does not work properly unless it is tightly connected to the body.
By the way, the Chinese once tried to make a bandage for the thigh from jade: they say there are large vessels there. The product turned out to be unpopular because it did not bring the desired effect. And all because the arteries and veins on the legs are hidden under a deep layer of skin - breaking through these barriers, Bianshi’s radiation noticeably decreased. Therefore, the manufacturer settled on a product in the form of a bracelet. It turned out to be the most convenient and effective.
The healing effects of the mineral
The healing qualities of black jade are widely used by representatives of alternative Chinese medicine. The strong energy of the stone is capable of suppressing harmful electromagnetic radiation from microwave ovens, mobile phones and other types of digital and household appliances.
Doctors recommend grinding the mineral into powder and consuming it in small doses, mixing it with water or herbal decoctions. The rich chemical composition with micro and macroelements can help in the fight against many diseases:
- potassium and sodium normalize kidney function;
- zinc fights dysfunction of the genitourinary system;
- chromium is responsible for strengthening the immune system and fighting the warning signs of diabetes;
- phosphorus accelerates metabolism;
- calcium prevents allergic reactions.

Lithotherapists, in turn, recommend using jewelry that projects radiation. Superimposed on the human biofield, jade is capable of:
- relieve pain syndrome;
- strengthen the bone structure;
- normalize blood pressure;
- calm the nervous system;
- protect against stress and depression;
- improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract and kidneys;
- normalize metabolism and promote weight loss;
- have a positive effect on blood circulation and male potency.
Electromagnetic radiation of the infrared spectrum can activate regeneration processes, which is why black jade amulets are often given to people undergoing postoperative rehabilitation.

Interesting! In a moment of danger, jade is able to endow its owner with courage and fortitude to confront the enemy, giving him strength to continue the fight.
The blue-black mineral allows the owner to look at himself from the outside, to soberly assess his abilities and capabilities. This type of jade (according to the Chinese) can reduce the degree of emotional intensity, help maintain composure and protect against fatal mistakes.
According to esotericism, representatives of the following professions should have amulets and talismans with them:
- military;
- teachers;
- doctors;
- financiers.
It is believed that the magic of the stone protects travelers and people on a trip.
Interesting! Dark-colored jade was often found on the shores of Ancient Mesopotamia. The priests attributed to him the properties of a protector from natural disasters: earthquakes, floods, fires.
Who is the black mineral suitable for?

Positive feedback
Each person has their own opinion about how well a Bianshi black jade bracelet “works”. Reviews from men and women who bought the product indicate that with the help of the stone they were able to get rid of hypertension. Not only did their blood pressure drop to a normal level, but they were also able to stop taking pills with similar effects forever. Another category of the population praises the thermal features of the product. They say that due to improved blood flow, they have lost tinnitus, heaviness in the legs and problems with the vestibular system.
In addition, the bracelet helped to forget about hemorrhoids, herpes, peeling and brittle nails, and hair loss. To do this, you just had to apply the nugget to problem areas of the body. But if you hold a pebble in your mouth, a person’s teeth sensitivity and bleeding gums decrease. Buyers unanimously say that they give the bracelet to their elderly parents. Elderly people who have a bracelet feel much better than their peers: their shortness of breath goes away, their stamina increases and their wrinkles smooth out.
Talismans and amulets
Almost every Chinese home has a jade amulet or talisman. Crafts made from black stone are much less common, but they are also much more highly valued.
Particularly popular are amulets that are symbols of or attract one of the “prosperities”:
- frog - money;
- mandarin duck – love;
- fish - wealth, and two carps - peace in marriage;
- bat - good luck;
- peach – longevity.
In addition to jade figurines, unique jewelry is made from the gem. Most often these are earrings, rings, beads and bracelets. Pendants with one beautifully cut stone are also popular.
Interesting! The most expensive is a monochromatic black mineral without light inclusions, but some designers specifically choose material with barely noticeable grayish veins that emphasize the structure and deep shade of jade.
Leather, textiles, and precious metals can be used as framing. The best types of frames are considered to be silver and platinum. These two metals are believed to enhance the energy of the dark stone.
It is from rare varieties of jade that balls and rosaries for meditation are made. This mineral enhances concentration, pacifies emotions and passions.
Small jade fragments attached above the entrance to the house can scare away evil spirits and evil spirits, and an amulet or mini-figurine given to a troublemaker will help him avoid quarrels and conflicts.

Published Bianshi Bracelet - made of black jade Friday, June 2, 2017
Legendary Bianshi
Today on the Internet you can find a large number of advertisements for the miraculous Bianshi bracelet, made from natural black jade.
According to sellers, it can significantly improve the quality of health, as it is capable of:
- activate immunity;
- improve blood circulation and neutralize lymph stagnation;
- remove toxins and waste from the body;
- activate metabolism;
- slow down the growth of malignant tumors;
- normalize blood pressure and heart rate;
- improve the condition of hair, nails and skin;
- protect against colds and other infectious diseases.
Such a wide range of effects, on the one hand, attracts many people who want to restore their health, on the other hand, it casts doubt on the reality of all of the above.
Interesting! According to representatives of Chinese alternative medicine, Bianshi jade is not able to completely get rid of ailments, but it can significantly facilitate the process of their occurrence. It is especially effective for massage procedures, but only if the stone is natural and is properly cared for.
The bracelet is made of small round or flat black beads. Its main difference from other crafts made from this stone is its matte finish. Bianshi does not have the characteristic waxy or oily sheen characteristic of most types of jade.
As for the cost of the “universal medicine,” it varies from 500 to 5,000 rubles. At the same time, in jewelry stores in the Celestial Empire, bracelets made of natural black jade with all the documents confirming the quality cost from $350. This circumstance also cannot but lead to reflection.
Reviews from doctors and users about this product are very diverse. For example, Kevin Spiling, a specialist in the diagnosis of skin diseases, says that during testing conducted at one of the American universities, it was noted that more than 80% of the women tested who wore the bracelet felt better.
However, according to the doctor, this was not due to the effect of jade on the skin, but rather due to its calming properties acting on the nervous system. After all, as you know, one of the causes of most skin diseases is severe stress and nervous shock. The placebo effect is not denied here either.
Domestic experts mostly believe that the bulk of products sold under this brand are a scam from naive buyers and pure fraud.
One of them is physician-therapist A.L. Myasnikov. - presenter of the program “Live Healthy”. It is his name that is often used by unscrupulous sellers of the “jade miracle,” although he has officially confirmed more than once that he has nothing to do with this product.
To whom is it customary to give products made of black jade?
For menWomen
Effect on the body
This mineral can affect almost everything. Scientists were able to prove that with its help:
- The circulation of lymph and blood is normalized, stagnation is resolved and heavy metals and toxins are eliminated.
- Immunity is stimulated and improved.
- Respiratory problems are eliminated.
- Motor functions work better.
- Muscles relax and psychological calm is restored.
- Fatigue is relieved and the effects of stress are reduced.
- Muscle and other pain is reduced.
- The likelihood of contracting a viral disease is reduced.
- The growth of cancer cells is reduced.
- Excess weight, interruptions in metabolic processes, and cellulite are eliminated.

- Headaches are relieved, blood pressure is normalized.
- The appearance improves, the amount of calcium in the body increases.
If a person wears a Bianshi stone bracelet for several months, his health will improve significantly. In addition, the appearance will also change: the person will look younger and fitter compared to his peers.
How to spot a fake
The value of the mineral has led to many counterfeits of “black jade” appearing on the market. Most often used for this:
- jade chips;
- cheaper natural gems (jadeite, agate, onyx);
- frosted glass;
- plastic;
- ceramics.
You can distinguish a cheap fake from an expensive mineral in different ways:
- Price. The most obvious method of assessment. Natural black jade is expensive and every year its prices are rising due to a decrease in its reserves in the world's two largest deposits.
- Thermal conductivity and heat capacity. By holding a stone or a product made from it in your palm, you can estimate how long it will retain the resulting heat. Rapid cooling is a sign of a fake.
- Hardness. The structure of jade makes it one of the most durable minerals. It cannot be scratched or broken.
- Weight. This factor works in comparison with plastic or glass.
- Sound. When jade stones hit each other, they produce a fine resonating sound. A dull tapping identifies a fake.
One of the most extreme testing methods is the fire test. When heated, plastic begins to “melt” and emits a specific odor.
Legendary Bianshi
Bianshi stone is a type of black jade. It is credited with miraculous properties, including the return of youth and the treatment of oncology. A worldwide stir has been created around popular jewelry made from it - bracelets and beads from China.
In fact, the mineral does not eliminate all diseases, but gradually weakens them.
It’s easy to order a bracelet online, but you need to check the product in the package upon receipt. The following signs indicate authenticity:
- it cannot be scratched;
- when the plates hit each other, the sound is harmonious and resonates - a dull sound is produced by the plastic;
- matte coating;
- an internal pattern of thin threads is visible in the light or under a magnifying glass; the texture and color of a fake are uniform;
- quality certificate.
Caring for the stone is simple - wash with warm water and soap or wipe well with a soft, damp cloth. Store products with jade separately.

We will be glad to see comments from our readers about the material in this article, as well as to know their opinion about the Bianshi bracelet and other products made of black jade.
Which site is “more official than the official”?
It’s one thing to present a Bianshi bracelet to customers as a decoration, and a completely different thing to mislead Internet users with the idea that this Bianshi bracelet is supposedly healing. We were not able to see supporting documents, certificates, etc. on any of the sites selling Bianshi. The scammers offer to take their word for it, and this is after we were fed false photos of the artist and non-existent words of the doctor, which the doctor himself sees for the first time.
We placed an order for a Bianshi bracelet, and five minutes later they called our phone number. Another alarming factor is that the scammers’ number is hidden. Why hide your number and not indicate it on your website, because everything is legal with you. Why is there no address on the website where the office of this company, which sells the “healing” Bianshi, is located, nor the name of the director? All these nuances should alert you - something is wrong with these guys! So how? Are you still confident in the healing properties of this miracle Bianshi bracelet?
