Day 1 | Green Jade Baby Elephant
Significance of the Elephant Shape
Your first Advent treasure arrives in the form of the mighty elephant… except today it’s a baby, and honestly, even cuter than you were expecting. Elephants have been symbols of strength, loyalty, memory, and protection since forever. Across cultures, their raised trunks are said to shower blessings onto the home, call in abundance, and sweep away stubborn bad vibes.
In many Asian traditions, elephants are living emblems of wisdom and good fortune; in ancient lore, they carried kings, gods, and entire cosmic worlds on their backs. Your sweet little jade elephant might look soft and doe-eyed, but energetically, it’s a powerhouse with a tiny-giant mission.
Stone Meaning – Green Jade
Green Jade is the stone of serene confidence. Not loud, not dramatic, just the calm inner knowing that everything is unfolding exactly as it should. This stone has been treasured for thousands of years; ancient cultures used it for protection, prosperity, and emotional harmony. In Chinese tradition, Jade is believed to embody the very essence of virtue. In Mesoamerican history, it was valued more highly than gold. And metaphysically, it’s your go-to for heart-healing, renewal, and abundance that feels earned, not forced.
Emotionally, Green Jade softens the edges. It’s the friend that gently pries your white-knuckled grip off unnecessary worry and reminds you you’re safe. It nurtures, strengthens intuition, and stabilises your emotional landscape so you can attract what’s meant for you with ease. Think: calm heart; clear mind; steady steps.
Pair that with the elephant energy, and you’ve just unboxed a symbol of protected abundance. A quiet guardian for the entire month ahead.
How to Use Your Piece
Place your Jade Elephant somewhere it can “watch over” you; these little guardians love entryways, desks, and bedside tables. Hold it during moments of stress to calm the heart and steady the breath. Let it remind you that tiny steps forward still count as progress.
Try this:
• Pop it near your front door to call in good luck and peaceful energy
• Keep it on your desk for focus and prosperity
• Add it to your altar during heart-healing or abundance rituals
• Carry it in a pouch when you want emotional steadiness throughout the day
Caring for Your Crystal
• Water: Jade is generally safe for water, but avoid long soaking to keep it looking pristine
• Light: Sunlight won’t harm it, though gentle indirect light keeps the colour happiest
• Cleansing: Smoke cleansing, sound, or moonlight are perfect
• Charging: Place it on a Clear Quartz cluster or leave it under the new or full moon
• Handling: This is a durable stone, but the carved trunk and ears appreciate gentle hands

What an adorable start to my first ever Advent Calendar. She’s so beautiful and being an elephant brought back memories of my dear Nan who used to have an elephants collection. So I will name her Esmee.💚

Beautiful crystal to start the beginning of this years advent calendar , my mum collected of elephants when I was growing up so they bring a lot of comfort & peace when I see one.
I hadn’t thought to name mine , due to the colour of mine – it’s not very green , I’m naming her hazel.

I love my baby elephant, she is just perfect. I’ve named her Mei which means beautiful in Chinese. She’s currently sitting with my Christmas display in my lounge room. And she is my first piece of Jade.
This year’s advent is off to a strong start, and the information about the crystal is great. Thank you Unearthed Team

I love mine! We don’t have a name yet, but I had popped in back in the calendar spot without the box, but each time I walked past he called to me. So we are just taking a quiet moment to get to know each other. He’s perfect.
