Jade as a Gemstone

Jade is actually two different minerals referred to by the same name. For centuries, two separate minerals were referred to and traded as jade because of their similarities. By the time a French mineralogist realized they were two different gems in the 1800s, it was too late. Today, they are differentiated into jadeite and nephrite, but often the two are still just called and sold as “jade”. Nephrite jade has long been revered by the Chinese, where it is called ‘Yu’. It is believed to reduce stress, and prolong life.

Nephrite Jade is a 6 to 6.5 and Jadeite is a 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale. Neither jade is an exceptionally hard stone, but both are very tough due to their microcrystalline structure. Because of this durability, jade was used by earlier civilizations for axes and weapons. Jade is an important part of the Chinese wedding ceremony as it is considered the concentrated essence of love. It has also been carved into ornaments, beads, and statues.
