What is jadeite?

Emerald is a kind of stone jade grade with polycrystalline aggregation. Jadeite is a dense and massive aggregate formed by countless fine fibrous mineral crystallites, mainly jadeite.

There are several explanations for the origin of the jade name. A name from a bird. This bird has very bright feathers. The male feathers are red, the female feathers are green, and the famous kingfisher (also known as the green feathered bird) is collectively called jade. So there is a saying in the industry that Fei is a man and Cui is a woman. In the Ming Dynasty, Burmese jade was named "Jade" after it was introduced to China. On the other hand, ancient "Cui" refers to emeralds produced in Hotan, Xinjiang. After the emerald was introduced into China, it was called "Fei Cui" to distinguish it from Hetian jade, and then it gradually evolved into "Emerald".

Jade, also known as jadeite, jadeite and Burmese jade, is a kind of jade. The correct definition of jadeite is fibrous aggregate composed of pyroxene minerals, mainly jadeite minerals. But jade is not equal to jade. Jadeite is a kind of stone polycrystalline aggregate that reaches the jade level under geological action. It is mainly composed of jadeite or jadeite, sodium (sodalite) and sodalite (omphacite), and may contain amphibole, feldspar, chromite and limonite.
