Jet is the Wiccas receptive tool used for luck, divination, protection and health. Black and glasslike, Jet is actually fossilized wood that is millions of years old. Because it is black it is associated with the earth elements, but because of its organic origins it is also related to the Akasha. Jet shares with amber the ability to become electrically charged. When worn, it is believed to be absorb part of the wearer's soul. Ancient Greek worshippers of Cybele, goddess of growth and plants, wore this to obtain her favour. Jet is a marvellous stone, but beware: much of what is sold today is actually just black glass. Jet has a very ancient history as it maintains proper energy, therefore avoiding ill health.

Jet (also known as gagate) is fossilized coal. It is a hard, lightweight lustrous black stone that was used in mourning jewelry during the Victorian era (especially after Queen Victoria's husband died in 1861 and she went into long period of mourning, greatly affecting jewelry fashion). Jet is frequently cabochon cut. Most jet is from Whitby, England; jet has been mined near Whitby (on the Yorkshire coast of England) since prehistoric times. It is also found in Spain, France, Germany, and Russia, but these other sources are said to be inferior to the harder, more elastic Whitby jet. Jet has a hardness of 2.5-4 (quite soft) and a specific gravity of 1.30-1.35 (it is relatively lightweight). Jet leaves a brown streak. When burnt with a red-hot needle, jet smells like coal. Black glass and plastics are often used to imitate jet (glass is much heavier and harder than jet) - jet is warm to the touch.
(Also called "black amber".) A dense black variety of lignite, ( fossilized coal), that can be highly polished and is often made into mourning jewelry, Zuni inlay, toys, buttons, etc.
Jet is a geological material that is not considered a mineral in the true sense of the word, but rather, a mineraloid derived from decaying wood under extreme pressure, thus organic in origin. The name "jet" is the English word derived from the French “jaietâ€. Jet is black or dark brown but may contain pyrite inclusions, which have a brassy color and metallic lustre.
