Geological Background
True Chinese jade is nephrite, a calcium magnesium silicate of the amphibole group. It forms through regional metamorphism of serpentinite deposits, creating tough, interlocking fibrous crystals that give jade its durability and smooth texture.
Nephrite jade from Xinjiang, Liaoning, and Henan Provinces in China is known for its subtle green to creamy white hues — the finest variety often called “Hetian Jade.”
