Nephrite Jade

Nephrite Jade

Nephrite Jade, also known as Nephrite, Jadeite, and Imperial Jade, is a beautiful olive green Jade that has been used as an amulet of good luck for over 6,000 years.  We cannot talk about Jade without including both Nephrite and Jadeite, that have very similar vibrations and are often used as Jade. However, Nephrite ranges in colours from creamy white, mid to deep olive green, brown, and black.  In comparison, Jadeite may be a white-tray green, leafy green, blue or blue-green, emerald green, lavender, pink, red, orange, yellow, greenish-black or black. The translucent, emerald green Jadeite, coloured by traces of chromium, is called Imperial Jade and is the rarest and most valuable.

The appearance of a jade nephrite slice can vary depending on factors such as the specific mineral composition of the jade, the presence of impurities, and the cutting and polishing techniques used. Some slices may exhibit a smooth, polished surface that showcases the natural beauty of the jade, while others may feature rougher textures or irregular patterns.

In terms of color, jade nephrite slices can range from light green to dark green, with variations in hue and intensity throughout the stone. Some pieces may also exhibit mottled or marbled patterns, caused by the presence of different minerals or the formation process of the jade.

Overall, jade nephrite slices are prized for their natural beauty, durability, and symbolic significance, making them popular choices for jewelry, ornaments, and decorative objects.
