Gemstone: - Nephrite Jade Stone Weight: 43Cts. Stone Size: 46mm X 26mm Stone Shape: Oval Stone Cut: Cabochon Jade is one of the oldest & most important gemstones, with a history dating over 7,000 years. It is especially prized throughout Chinese & Latin American cultures, often holding more value than gold. The term ‘jade’ was derived from ‘Piedra de Ijada’, a Spanish phrase meaning ‘stone for the pain in the side’ because Spanish explorers saw natives of Central America holding pieces of jade to their sides, believing that it could cure ills. The name ’nephrite’ was derived from the Greek word for ‘kidney’, which refers to its supposed ability to cure kidney disease. Nephrite is one of two distinct mineral forms classified as jade (the other is jadeite) & up until 1863, nephrite was believed to be one & the same as jadeite. Nephrite is a fibrous aggregate variety of tremolite-actinolite, a basic calcium magnesium iron silicate, whereas jadeite is a pyroxene mineral. Nephrite is more common than jadeite & although it is slightly softer than jadeite, it is considered tougher due to its denser structure. Traditional Chinese jade typically refers to nephrite since there are no actual jadeite deposits located in China. Today, green nephrite is considered to be the most valuable nephrite, but translucent, white nephrite was considered the most valuable up until the introduction of fine Burmese ‘imperial’ jadeite jade during the 18th century.
