Afghanistan "Jade" is not an actual jade - it's actually a type of serpentine, though it is commonly referred to as "Afghanistan Jade" or "Afghan Jade". The medicine of the snake is considered magical, especially among ancient healers, who used the Serpentine crystal stone as an antidote for deadly snakebites. Serpentine is soothing to the emotional body, allowing you to release your fear of change and hardship so that you are able to look ahead to the future with expectation and excitement. 

Serpentine can help you to be less sensitive to the thoughts, comments or opinions of others. It can help you feel more self confident and less invested in receiving external praise or appreciation. Serpentine is a stone of independence. It engenders a sense of being protected, stimulating you to move into new realms and social circles without hesitancy or fear. The Serpentine crystal reminds us that life is a series of choices, so choose wisely and always follow your bliss.
