Jade is divided into jadeite jade and nephrite jade,so in order for you to different the jadeite jade from nephrite jade,we will provide information which is to show the color characters of jadeite jade and nephrite jade so that you can differ them easily.
Jadeite jade is the more rare of the two jade variations, and the most expensive. Most of the world's supply of fine jadeite comes from Burma, but deposits are found in Guatemala and a few other areas around the world.
- Jadeite occurs in many colors, including greens, white, lavender, yellows and oranges, black and reds.
- Evenly colored, translucent emerald green jadeite is called Imperial Jade.
- Jadeite ranks at about 7 on the Mohs scale, compared to 10 for a diamond, but jade is a tough mineral that resists chipping and breaking.
Nephrite jade is more plentiful than jadeite, and that makes it less expensive. The Xinjiang Province in China produced the jade traditionally used by Chinese artisans until Burmese jadeite became available to them in the 1700's. Nephrite deposits have been discovered all around the world, even in the United States.
- Nephrite jade is found in fewer colors than jadeite.
- Instead of a bright emerald green, nephrite greens are often grayish or mottled.
- Nephrite ranks at about 6.5 on the Mohs scale. Because it is softer than jadeite, finished pieces cannot be as highly polished.
