Geology of Nephrite Jade
Nephrite jade is a tough, fibrous variety of the amphibole mineral actinolite–tremolite. Unlike jadeite, which is granular, nephrite has an interlocking fibrous structure that makes it exceptionally tough — prized for carving tools and ceremonial objects for thousands of years. It forms in metamorphic environments, where intense heat and pressure alter serpentinite rocks, creating the dense, green-to-cream colored masses. Nephrite deposits are found worldwide, but notable sources include China, Canada (British Columbia), New Zealand, Russia, and Wyoming (USA). Its hardness (6–6.5 on the Mohs scale) combined with this unique fibrous texture is why nephrite jade has been called “the toughest natural stone.”
Design & Function

Weight & feel: firm yet graceful in hand; cool temperature naturally retained against the skin.
Optional chopstick rest / stop: some versions include decorative jade rests or engraved ends to prevent rolling.
Cultural & Symbolic Appeal
Jade is deeply revered in many cultures for its symbolism of purity, protection, and longevity. Using jade chopsticks is not just about dining — it’s integrating ritual, intention, and reverence into everyday meals.

Care Instructions & Durability Tips
Hand wash gently using mild soap and lukewarm water; avoid soaking
Dry immediately with a soft cloth
Do not subject to extreme temperature changes (e.g. boiling, freezing)
Handle carefully—jade is strong but brittle; avoid dropping or banging
Store in a soft pouch or lined box to protect from chipping
Limitations & Considerations
Because jade is natural, slight variation in color, veining, or texture is expected and adds character
While durable, jade chopsticks are more fragile than metal or wood — be mindful during cleaning, stacking, or transport
