RE:For Your Viewing......

RE:For Your Viewing......For your information:

The Jade shown on the video is jade from Myanmar and a lot more expensive then the jadeite from China or BC.

Ther are 2 types of Jade but the jade from myanmar is rare and only found there. That is why the  Jade from Birma is so expansive

NEPHRITE JADE

Geologically, nephrite is a carbon silicate with iron, magnesium, chrome and calcium. Due to its interlocking fibrous structure, nephrite jade rarely breaks and is the toughest natural material known. It can vary from green and white through to swirling greens to black. The amount of iron within the rock determines its colour, which ranges from white (no iron) to green – the more iron is present, the deeper the green.

Nephrite jade is also found in Australia, China, Russia, California, South America and New Zealand. However, the largest deposits are found in British Columbia, Canada. Coincidentally, British Columbia is the world‚s largest producer of nephrite. Nephrite from this province is world-renowned as being the hardest, clearest, and greenest nephrite mined.

 

JADEITE

Jadeite is a silicate of sodium and aluminum, and is mined in mainly in Burma, Guatemala, and Russia. Structurally, jadeite is composed to interlocking crystals, which makes it less tough, but harder than nephrite. Whereas iron is the cause of nephrite‚s green colour, in jadeite, this is due to the presence of chromium. In addition to green, jadeite can also be found in shades of white, brown, grey, blue, orange, red, black, and lavender.
