Gray-green, polished and intricately carved, with a waxy-to-vitreous luster; jadeite has Mohs hardness 6.5–7 and a monoclinic crystal structure. The label appears to report a mass of 32.66 g and refractive index of 1.66, consistent with jadeite, but the certificate and material cannot be verified from the image.

Physical properties

Formation & geological history

Jade forms during high-pressure metamorphism and fluid-related alteration in subduction zones. Jadeite deposits are notably found in Myanmar; geological age varies by deposit.

Uses & applications

Used for jewelry, carvings, and ornamental objects; fine jadeite can be highly valued.

Geological facts

The pendant depicts an ornate dragon-like design. Jade is a tough material, valued for its interlocking mineral texture as well as its color.

Field identification & locations

Look for dense feel, fine texture, and a waxy polish; reliable identification and treatment status require gemological testing. Image-based identification cannot confirm natural jade or detect dye, polymer, or other treatments.
