Jade (likely Nephrite or Jadeite)

Nephrite (Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) or Jadeite (Na(Al,Fe3+)Si2O6)

Jade (Nephrite or Jadeite)

Nephrite: Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2 (amphibole mineral); Jadeite: NaAlSi2O6 (pyroxene mineral)

Serpentine (often sold as “new jade”), polished egg

Serpentinite, composed chiefly of serpentine-group minerals (approx. Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄); dark patches may be magnetite or other accessory minerals

Jadeite

Jadeite (NaAlSi2O6)

Tumbled jade-like stone, likely nephrite jade

Nephrite: fine-grained interlocking tremolite–actinolite, Ca₂(Mg,Fe)₅Si₈O₂₂(OH)₂

Jade

There are two distinct minerals commonly known as Jade: Nephrite (a calcium magnesium silicate - Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) and Jadeite (a sodium aluminum silicate - NaAlSi2O6). Based on the image showing a typically softer, more fibrous appearance, it is likely Nephrite.

Nephrite Jade (or Serpentine)

Nephrite (a variety of amphibole mineral tremolite-actinolite) or Serpentine Group minerals

Jadeite

NaAlSi2O6; Jadeite silicate mineral

Green Jade

Nephrite (Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) or Jadeite (NaAlSi2O6)

Jade

Jade can refer to two distinct minerals: Nephrite (a variety of the mineral actinolite, Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) and Jadeite (Na(Al,Fe3+)Si2O6). Based on the image, showing a relatively uniform green color and possibly slight translucence in bead form, it is very likely one of these, but determining which one from a photo is difficult without specific testing.
