Jade is an ornamental stone. The English word jade is derived from the Spanish term piedra de ijada (first recorded in 1565) or "loin stone", from its reputed efficacy in curing ailments of the loins and kidneys. Jade is a symbol of serenity and purity. It signifies wisdom gathered in tranquility. It increases love and nurturing.

Opalite is a synthetic opalized glass.

Agate is a microcrystalline variety of silica, chiefly chalcedony, characterized by its fineness of grain, brightness of color, and potential striping. Each individual agate forms by filling a cavity in host rock. As a result, agate is often found as a round nodule with concentric bands like the rings of a tree trunk. The bands sometimes look like eyes. In ancient times, it was said to quench thirst and protect against fever. It has been thought that agate enhances mental function, improving concentration, analytical abilities. It soothes, heals tension and creates a sense of security. Agate heals the eyes, stomach and uterus; cleanses the lymphatic system and the pancreas; strengthens blood vessels and improves skin disorders.
