Jade is a nephrite- or jadeite-like mineral commonly known for its rich greens and waxy to vitreous luster. It typically occurs in compact masses, often presenting a smooth, porcelain-like polish that highlights its subtle translucency and varied green hues. The mineral can form in metamorphic environments and is famous for its dense, tough nature, which makes it highly prized by collectors for carved cabochons and display specimens. Notable specimens come from classic locales such as Myanmar, with historic nephrite from Italy and North American occurrences in the USA and Canada contributing distinct regional character to the species.

About Jade
Collectors value Jade for its color range, texture, and the way light interacts with its surface. Jadeite and nephrite differ in composition and hardness, but both share the appeal of a durable, elegant mineral that can be shaped into intricate forms. The combination of color depth, common habit in compact masses, and provenance from storied mining regions helps Jade stand out in mineral cabinets and collections dedicated to green minerals and metamorphic rocks.
