Here are some more information for Old Nephrite:
China is an ancient country with a very rich heritage. The thousands of years of history have laid a rich basis for the lives of its inhabitants today. While some of the ancient Chinese myths and cultural traditions have been forgotten or are no longer observed, many of them are still remembered and incorporated into everyday life. Taking a look into the cultural traditions of China can reveal a lot about the way that the people live. One of the most interesting bits of Chinese lore can be found in what is known as the Jade Culture. Jade was a very fashionable emblem of ancient Chinese culture. From very ancient times, during the Western Zhou Dynasty, jade has been used as a decoration that used to hang from the sash holding the Hanfu (a garment that was a part of the Ancient Chinese Clothing) closed. Jade was important in China not only because of its beauty, but also for its virtue and cultural significance. According to Confucius, jade had 11 virtues, some of which include beauty, purity and grace. Jade is of two types, soft jade, known as nephrite, which is native to China, and hard jade (jadeite) which was imported from Burma starting in the 1200's.
One of the most recognizable symbols of china is the dragon. A derivative of the serpent, it had a scaly body and five claws. It is a symbol of auspicious power and has been even Chinese folklore. This symbol is very obviously found in Ancient Chinese Clothing particularly on imperial robes. The rulers considered themselves descendants of the dragon and so the scenes pertaining to dragons on their clothes were indicators of their power. Traditionally, the Chinese being an agriculture-based nation are very dependent on water. So, the dragon is associated with the weather and is the bringer of rain and water in China. The dragon is also the embodiment of the yang (male). The female counterpart is known as the Fenghuang.
Some of the other popular motif designs are willow trees, chrysanthemums, cranes and bamboo. These are depicted on pottery, paintings, vases and of course clothes. Imagine owning a piece of Ancient Chinese Clothing complete with rich and elaborate patterns that once belonged to the rulers of this splendid civilization.
No Chinese object is complete without a depiction of at least one of the four favourite plants - the bamboo, the Chinese plum, chrysanthemum and orchid. Of these, the bamboo is used in the most versatile manner. From tableware - chopsticks and utensils - to flutes to paintbrushes and even hair accessories.
Combs made of bamboo, ivory, jade and other materials further enhanced the ensemble of Ancient Chinese Clothing of women. Headgear in ancient times included hats for men and hairpieces for women. Traditionally, the Chinese wear their hats indoors as well as outdoors unlike their Western counterparts. This is mainly because most hats are too impractical to take off and carry around.
Fashion of ancient China has constantly evolved through the various dynasties. For example, during the Sui Dynasty in the 500 AD, the emperor declared that only the rich people could wear colors while the poor people had to be dressed in blue or black.

How and Why Healing Crystals and Colour Therapy Work Perfectly Together
Each colour contains qualities and strengths that are amplified by the power of the crystal. Colours are absorbed through the skin and the optic nerves. Psychically they are assimilated into the human energy field via the seven chakras, and from there they go to wherever specific colour strengths are needed in the body or mind.
When using Healing Crystals we recommend using a pair of crystals, one to draw out pain or remove blockages and one to infuse the system with healing light. You can any shape that is comfortable. The following pairs are our recommended combinations:
Clear Quartz and Amethyst are all-purpose Healing Crystals, excellent for routine cleansing and energising.
Turquoise and Rose Quartz help an overloaded system or a person who is under pressure.
Amber and Blue Coral/Blue Chalcedony are deep Healing Crystals and restore natural immunity.
Purple Fluorite and Nephrite Jade are for Healing over a long period, chronic conditions or those difficult to diagnose and treat.
Red Jasper and Celestine/Angelite are useful to balance, strengthen and harmonise body and mind.
Tiger’s Eye and Banded Agate soothe and empower very nervous or emotional patients or those in crisis.
Blue Lace Agate and Pink Mangano Calcite are excellent for Healing the very young, the very old or those extremely ill or in intense pain.
Use each pair by holding the more active Healing Crystal (the first listed) in your power hand (the one you write with) and the other in your receptive hand. Simultaneously move your Healing Crystal clockwise and the receptive crystal anticlockwise over any pain or discomfort. Work two inches away from the body, slowly spiralling up and down, constantly moving the Healing Crystals. You may find that Healing words emerge spontaneously. The Healing Crystals may stop over a chakra energy centre and move much faster as they balance or unblock it. When you find yourself slowing, the healing is complete.
Using Divination can help you to determine the right course of action in a particular situation. In modern Divination we consult the god or goddess within, the wise part of ourselves that is not bound by the limitations of time. This part of ourselves can reach the universal store of knowledge, so that we are not bound by our conscious mind and our preferred method is to use Healing Crystals for Colour Therapy.
The selection occurs through the process of psychokinetic, the ability of the mind to move matter, in this case our hand, to select one Colour Therapy Crystal rather than another so that it answers our questions. Healing Crystals are a very powerful form of Colour Therapy, because not only do the Colours and the individual crystal type have certain core meanings, but also when we hold the crystal we have selected unconsciously, information from it floods our minds. This knowledge is transmitted through our fingertips in the form of words, sensations of heat or cold, feelings of reassurance or sudden doubt about a planned course of action, as well as rich visual images in our mind.
You can use as few as eleven Healing Crystals, one for each of the main Colour Therapy colours: White, Purple, Blue (light or dark), Green, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Red, Brown, Grey and Black. Use crystals of similar size, shape and smoothness; round or oval tumbled stones about the size of a medium coin are ideal. Keep the crystals for Colour Therapy in a drawstring bag (or place them in this bag prior to divination).

I know this is a really old show but in Sailor moon, will Nephrite EVER come back?
The romance between him and Molly was so sad and romantic I loved it! And then when he died, Molly was so sad I cried! Awwhh will he come back for Molly???
Sorry, no 
Once the baddies are killed off in Sailor Moon, they tend to stay dead.
You should try watching the original japanese (with english subtitles) version of Sailor Moon; I have all FIVE (yes, there are five) seasons on dvd.
[America didn't dub the last one because it had too many references of the lesbian relationship between Uranus and Neptune].
The japanese version is much funnier as well, since when they dubbed it they dumbed it down so it was more suitable for little kiddies.
