Jadeite

Description

Jadeite is a valuable variety of jade and a pyroxene mineral known for its durability, hardness, and wide range of natural colors. It is widely used in fine jewelry and decorative pieces.

Natural Jadeite can occur in various colors, including emerald green, light green, white, yellow, pink, purple, blue, and black. High-quality emerald-green Jadeite with excellent translucency is particularly prized. The green color is commonly associated with the presence of chromium.

Color, translucency, texture, and overall quality are important factors in evaluating Jadeite. Some stones may undergo treatments to improve their appearance and translucency, making treatment disclosure an important consideration when purchasing a gemstone.

Major sources of Jadeite include Myanmar (Burma), Guatemala, China, Mexico, Japan, and the United States. High-quality Burmese Jadeite is among the most renowned varieties of this gemstone.
