      My Jade Buddha amulet crystalized?




      This is strange. It appears that my Jade Buddha amulet (Somdej to be exact) has some sort of "Crystalization" which wasn't there when I first got it years back (I have an early photo of it which does not show the "Crystalization"; this is a more recent photo).


      I had transferred some of my Kundalini energy into it some years back.

      I just find it strange, so I'm sharing the story here. Perhaps those viewing this can share their thoughts/comments.

      I dont think Kundalini has much to do with that. Perhaps try Googling on Jade+crystalisation, or something similar. Probably some kind of chemical/physical process.

      I think it's the energy you put into it. It probably can be used 5 times to restore your mana to 100% before you have to recharge it with a soul gem.

      Actually Jadeite and Nephrite (the two forms of jade) are crystals. Perhaps you could explain what you mean by crystallization. Was it made smoother, or more lustrous.
      The amulet you have there appears to be jadeite (the rarer of the two) I don't really know what that means I'm not exactly an expert on the subject.

      Look carefully at the picture. There's some "white stuff" on the edges of the "Buddha" figure. That's what I mean by "crystalization" (maybe it is not crystals, but it is one word I can think of using to describe the phenomenon).

      If I show you my old photo of the amulet, it would be easier to spot the difference.

      I found this. Apparently, old jade becomes crystalized.


      Subject:Re: Neolithic Jade?
      Posted By: Mon, Apr 14, 2008 IP: 76.214.16.82
      Hi there

      My friend Ben is quite a source of information on this stuff. It is very possible that it IS 4000 years old because China is digging up Neolithic Jade artifacts quicker than they know or have the resources to deal with. So a lot of these artifacts are being sold for bargain prices (as cheap as $15) on ebay and other auction websites. Ebay in fact will take them down if they get found out on there. Some controversy surround this - but yes its true - you can buy Neolithic Jade for very cheap prices.

      My friend, who has been outraged with this, buys as much as he can to archive it. He does pay thousands for some items, that are very large, but usually just within the tens or hundreds. He has also made a software which collects information about neolithic jade including photos from auction websites, to try to archive these priceless artifacts that are being whored all over the world. Eventually the Chinese government may get around to doing something about it, but for the moment, anyone can dig jade up from the dirt, and sell it on ... ebay.

      A few ways to tell fakes: boil it in water. If its a fake, a lacquer will come off and you will see machine made marks where it was carved. You'll have to do more research on this - it may not be safe for every piece.
      Also, very old jade becomes crystalized and forms something of a web on the outside that looks like fiberglass - this is what jade does over many thousands of years. You may see some crystalization in the crevices - if you see this, its most definitely OLD, but there is in fact no way of ever telling exactly how old it is because jade cannot be carbon dated - and dating jade is in and of itself, a whole problem.

      Hope this helps.

      It could be a lacquer crystallizing or something, but if you're certain it's real it's probably the jade crystallizing. Since it is difficult to date jade that sample could be very old and beginning to crystallize. Although I would have guessed it would have done so much more slowly.

      If I am not mistaken, this is the only picture I have of it when I first got it, before any "crystalization" had taken place (and before I had transferred some of my Kundalini energy into it):

      Really? Maybe your magic level needs to be higher. Try getting a wizard to make you a potion.

      Yes, I really did transfer my Kundalini energy into it, sort of. Years ago, I had a spiritual awakening of a sort.

      So what happened during that spiritual awakening what kind of revelation did you get? Do you still have that kundalini energy or did you lose it? What can you do with it next to crystalizing statues? Sorry for all the questions but sounds like an interesting experience.. Cool statue btw
