Description

Here's some information about nephrite jade: Composition and Toughness: It's a calcium magnesium silicate with an interlocking fibrous structure that gives it extreme toughness, making it resistant to damage and suitable for carvings and jewelry. Color Range: Nephrite jade primarily comes in various shades of green, gray, black, brown, and white, with the intensity of green often determined by its iron content. Uses: It has been treasured for centuries and is widely used in carvings, beads, and cabochon cut gemstones. Historical Significance: Humanity's earliest tools, dating back 5,000 years, were crafted from nephrite jade, and white nephrite was once highly prized by Chinese emperors.
