Stone jadeite, jadeite for a bath
Jadeite is a semiprecious stone that attracts people's attention with its natural beauty and unique properties. In appearance, it resembles jade, at one time these stones were called by one common name and revered as sacred, attributing to them the ability to influence the weather and cause its changes. However, jadeite has a higher hardness and is a silicate compound of aluminum and sodium. Its name is most likely derived from the Spanish piedro de jade, which means kidney stone, the name itself indicates its healing properties. The stone can have different shades, from whitish to emerald, blue, violet, red, depending on the place of extraction and the percentage of impurities of iron, chromium, manganese, calcium, magnesium contained in it.

Jadeite stone - properties and scope
The most famous deposits of jadeite are in Burma, China, Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russian large deposits are in the Polar Urals, Western Sayan, in Khakassia.
The stone is characterized by a fine-grained structure, high strength and toughness.
Its formation occurs at relatively low temperatures and high pressure created by metamorphic rocks.
As for the scope of jadeite, it is quite extensive:
- Stone is used as a decoration material for walls and bath stoves.
- Its high decorative qualities provided several of its types (utilities, comersial, imperial) in demand as an ornamental material, which is often used by jewelers to create very exquisite jewelry.
- Strength characteristics (the material for a long time can withstand pressure of the order of 364-936 MPa), and other physical properties of the mineral, make it possible to use it as a stone for baths.
The unusual properties of the stone people noticed a long time ago, when in order to retain heat, the bonfire had to be lined with stones.
It turned out that only certain types of stones can be used for such purposes - which are able to warm up deeply, retain heat, but not crack or warp.
Among these samples was jadeite, which warms up extremely quickly and is able to withstand the effects of very high temperatures.
Such properties of the stone ensures the uniformity of the rock of which it consists.
The best stones for a bath
The mechanical properties of the stone and its physical characteristics allow long-term operation of the stone in extreme conditions russian steam room or saunas.
It is jadeite that is recognized as the best and suitable for use in a bath with an electric stove and a traditional stove-heater.
Experts consider the stone to be suitable for use in baths in all respects and recommend choosing large stones when choosing jadeite for a bath.
Before choosing a stone for a bath you should familiarize yourself with some features of different breeds.
A dangerous option is the use of stones having many diverse inclusions - their thermal conductivity and tension can differ significantly from each other.
For example, quartz, which is especially common in nature, has a high expansion rate, its heating and reaching critical sizes often leads to the destruction of the rocks that cover it, and those with characteristic sounds similar to shots begin to fly apart.
Problems can also be caused by stones that calmly withstand heat, but when water drops fall on them, they fly apart into small fragments. The homogeneous viscous structure of jadeite completely eliminates this variant of the behavior of the stone when heated to high temperatures.
We look at the video about what consequences the use of low-quality stones can lead to:

What properties does the best of bath stones have?
It heats up very quickly, but retains heat long enough.
The effect of water on jadeite does not lead to any reactions, i.e. when heated and in contact with water, it will not exude substances harmful to humans.
Experts advise, if possible, to purchase jadeite to abandon the use of other breeds completely, this will make it possible
- increase the safety of steam
- reduce heat loss during heating,
- save fuel used to maintain temperature.

How to choose the right bath stones
Since there are several varieties of jadeite, the question naturally arises - which one should you choose.
The types of stones can be recognized by color, it is recommended to use material in white, blue, green shades.
Light colors ensure that there are no harmful impurities in these stones.
Caution should be given to stones on the surface of which dark or black inclusions are observed - they include a large percentage of graphite, sometimes about 2-3% of the mass of the stone.
The physical properties of stones from these impurities will not practically change, but with increasing temperature, the particles of graphite will evaporate into the air, which poses a certain danger to people who are in close proximity.
To verify the presence of graphite, you can conduct a simple experiment: chop one of the stones into pieces.
If you rub the surface of the fault on the arm black stains may appear, this will mean that the material is unsuitable for use in the bath.
The second indicator of the quality of jadeite can be its value - it should not be less than 250 rubles. per kilogram. They sell stone in boxes; good quality material is mainly supplied from Kazakhstan.
When choosing jadeite, the question also arises - to buy polished stones or chipped. Since the surface area of \u200b\u200bchipped stones is larger, we can confidently say that they are more effective.
Experts generally do not recommend exposing the stones to any treatment, although oval-shaped stones can fit more densely in the heater, in practice, the quality of heat transfer is a more important indicator.
Useful advice: when laying stones in the heater, you should not make any efforts or tighten them.
When heated, the volume of stones will increase, which can lead to destruction of the container.
Sometimes jadeite is used as a finishing stone for bath stoves.
The service life of bath stones can be about 5000 hours, if their heating temperature is close to +600 C.
How to make sure that the stone is real? Experts recommend the following:
The healing properties of the bath which uses jade stone
After all of the above, it is unlikely that anyone would have doubts that jadeite is the best stone for a bath.
But one of the sides of this stone nevertheless remained unsolved - it is its healing properties.
Among the important and indisputable facts are the antiseptic properties that water acquires after touching a hot stone.
The heating of the material leads to saturation of the vapor with metasilicic acid, which has beneficial effects on human skin and respiratory organs.
Stay in a steam room with a heater filled with jadeite:
- helps to strengthen the nervous system,
- normalizes blood pressure,
- heals the kidneys
- normalizes blood composition,
- zeolites present in the stone sorb radioactive and other harmful substances in the air.
Fans of Tibetan stone therapy by massage using jadeite achieve normalization of blood circulation in the body and stabilization of the skin's water balance.
The tight contact of the stone with the skin has a rejuvenating effect and stimulates regenerative processes in the cells.
In eastern countries, stone is generally credited with magical properties.
But they should not be guided by such statements when installing a bath stove.
But the belief that this particular stone will contribute to the healing and rejuvenation of the body will not bring harm to anyone - at a subconscious level, the body itself will tune in to a positive result.
In principle, it is not so important what makes a person feel better - from contact with a magic stone or from the belief that the healing effect when contacting him will be surely obtained.
But in fact, the steam obtained by splashing water onto stones turns out to be extremely dry and soft, sometimes even stoves are built that are specially designed for a heater with jadeite.
Some useful information about stone massage in the video:
In saunas and baths, it is also customary to carry out special therapy based on applying warm stones to certain areas of the body - slowly giving off heat, the stones deeply warm the affected muscle tissue and ligaments.
Given the fact that the efficiency and environmental friendliness of the furnace, as well as the quality of the steam, will depend on the quality of the stone, the choice should be taken seriously.
Experts recommend buying filler for the stove exclusively in specialized stores, always in unopened original packaging.
