Special Notes

New Zealand Greenstone Pounamu has one form that is currently considered a third type of jade.
- However some websites list as nephrite which I don't agree with as it has a glassy feel like jadeite.
- Hence why I think it should be a third classification.
- The other NZ forms are serpentine and bowenite.
China has ancient nephrite jade mines but the preferred "more valued" jade is jadeite from Burma.
Burmese Jadeite is now extremely hard to get commercially and even tourist buying locally have trouble exporting.
Nephrite Jade can be confused by with Serpentine or Bowenite as they may both grow in the same mine (as advised by an Australian miner of both). The distinction needs a microscope.
This has encourage deception by sellers and manufacturers:
- Jadeite is often "enhanced"
- Many "jades" are not e.g.New Jade and African Jade are not true jade - they are serpentine varieties.
- Many in Australia sell green aventurine as jade. And Australia's chrysoprase is now being sold as Australian Jade. Neither are jades.
- Also chalcedony is often dyed green and called jade.
- There are a lot of "fakes". Jade will feel waxy similar to calcite's feel. This website has spent some time finding them: http://molly.kalafut.org/jade/fake.html
Nephrite Jades are fairly easy to get depending on the colour.
