Getting the Right Jade Egg
One of the most frequently asked questions about the jade egg practice is why jade and not some other stone?
Pure jade stone is known as a very balancing stone with a high vibration. Jade eggs are smooth, non-porous, semi-precious gemstones or crystals, dark-green in color.
"Yoni Eggs" are really popular these days because they are so pretty, but I only recommend the ones made of nephrite jade because of hygiene and safety reasons.
Pure jade also has amazing properties to enrich your practice and results.
You may be tempted to buy yoni eggs made of rose quartz, or obsidian or other natural stones. (I was! I first bought a rose quartz yoni egg before I learned all I know now).
Here is why I don't recommend these when you are first starting out:
Rose quartz is more porous than jade. If it cracks, bacteria can get it making it unhygienic. Also, rose quartz is known as an amplifier stone. Meaning that it intensifies whatever energy it is placed next to it. If there is any stuck or heavy energy in your pelvis (from sexual trauma, stress or religious/cultural conditioning that caused shame)- you definitely don't want to amplify that, right?
Obsidian is a volcanic stone and is know to be extremely yang (masculine) and my teachers have said it is not a suitable stone for healing this part of our body which holds the essence of our feminine energy.
Invest in a high-quality egg made out of pure jade stone which balances your energy.
Be aware that not everything advertised as jade is real jade stone.
Here are the best resources I have found where you can buy a high-quality nephrite jade egg.
When you are first starting out, its best is to get a drilled egg, size medium, which is roughly 3x4 cm.
