Green Nephrite Jade

Science & Origin

Green Nephrite Jade forms through the metamorphism of magnesium-rich serpentinite and dolomite rocks under intense pressure and moderate temperature conditions deep within the Earth's crust. Composed of densely interwoven fibrous crystals of Actinolite and Tremolite Amphibole minerals, it develops its exceptional toughness through this felted microcrystalline structure, making it one of the hardest materials to break despite a moderate hardness rating. The green coloration results from varying iron content within it lattice, ranging from pale celadon to deep forest tones. Nephrite was recognized as a distinct Jade variety separate from Jadeite in 1863 by french mineralogist alexis damour, though cultures had prized it for millennia without distinguishing between the two Jade types. Its waxy to greasy luster and smooth texture result from the tightly packed Amphibole fibers that create a compact, nearly impenetrable mass. Green Nephrite Jade carves beautifully and takes a high polish, qualities that have made it a treasured material for tools, weapons, and ornamental objects throughout human history.
