The structure is composed of numerous fine fibrous microcrystals. A dense block assembly having a carpet-like structure. It is very tough, resistant to high impact forces and pressures, and its products are durable. Jadeite has a hardness of 6.5-7 Moss, a specific gravity of 3.3, a glass luster or a pearl luster, and is often translucent, and a few are transparent (fully transparent "glass"), and the fracture is staggered. In China's gemstones, there is a saying that Huang Wei is green and green is green. The origin of the jadeite is mainly concentrated in the Archaeological Area of ​​Myitkyina in northern Myanmar.

Third, what is Hetian jade?

Hetian jade refers to the oldest nephrite produced in Hetian, Xinjiang. Its chemical composition is calcium magnesium silicate, and its mineral composition is a special aggregate composed of hornblende. Mohs hardness 6-6.5, specific gravity 2.9-3.1, fracture staggered, grease luster, translucent to opaque, color is white, cyan, yellow, black, red, etc., the color of a piece of material is generally uniform, its chemistry The composition is relatively stable, can resist strong acid and alkali, and is generally used for making jade carvings and various small pendants and bracelets.
