Nephrite polish finishes softer, but the stone itself is tougher and less prone to shattering. Both nephrite and jadeite are metamorphic rocks commonly marked with veins or imperfections, although it is often these imperfections that will make a particular piece special and in some cases more valuable. In general as it is with most stones, a fine piece of jade is distinguished by even clarity of color, translucence, and quality of workmanship. Please be wary of alarmists who make sweeping claims that all other jades that other sellers sell are fake or marble despite it being called different names the majority of nephrite you will find on the market is actually Hetian nephrite and we have done extensive research and testing to make sure that our eggs are actually what they claim to be.

Now lets move onto Jadeite which is our favourite jade of all and in our opinion the most beautiful and the highest quality we sell. The most coveted jadeite—imperial jade—has a pure green tone striking enough for the ancient emperors of both China and Mexico to place its value above gold. This regal color has only been found in the jadeite deposits of Guatemala, Russia and Burma now Myanmar , and today can fetch a price to easily rival diamonds.
Jadeite is rich in pyroxene. Customarily, green jade both jadeite and nephrite has been valued over other colors, but growing interest in less-traditional tints such as blue jadeite also called Olmec blue , violet jade also known as lilac jade and ice jade has sparked an off-color jade market.
English green with sea green speckles also known as mottled green and apple green with forest green speckles are our most popular sellers. Interestingly, translucent ice jade can arguably be regarded as the purest jade, because it is the imperfections in the chemical make-up of the stone that cause the colors.
Jadeite polishes to an almost mirror like finish and we as a company agree that they are out of all the jades the most beautiful. Our jadeite is mined in Guatemala and crafted by local artisans. The Elemental Stone. As far as we know, the first humans to use jadeite were the Swiss in roughly 4, B. Their stilt-houses high in the alpine lakes are thought to have been at least partly built with tools shaped from nephrite and jadeite found in river beds alongside their villages.
At about the same time, the humble tribes that were to become the great empires of Egypt and China were beginning to fashion tools and figurines from local nephrite.
Indeed, jade was used all over the world, independently mastered by as many cultures as there were jadeite and nephrite deposits found. However, it is not real jade.

Hi, I was looking at the listings for the two jade roller recommendations and did not see either list the type of jade used.
I lot of it is cheaply made in China. Seems something interesting. Can I do anything about this??? Is there anything I can clean it with? Jade is semi-porous, so the smell may be a little trapped but might go away in a few days after you let it air out!
