Metamorphic Rock (For Nephrite And Some Jadeite); Mineral (For Jadeite)

Glaucophane Schist (Blueschist)

Glaucophane Schist

Yellow Jade (often Serpentine or Dolomite)

Primarily Serpentine (Mg3Si2O5(OH)4) or Dolomite (CaMg(CO3)2), though the term 'yellow jade' is also sometimes applied to varieties of true nephrite or jadeite.

Yellow Jadeite

NaAlSi2O6 (Sodium Aluminum Silicate)

Serpentine

Serpentinite (rock) containing serpentine minerals (e.g., Antigorite, Lizardite, Chrysotile)

Yellow Jade (Quartzite Jade)

Quartzite (SiO2)

White Jade

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

Jade Dice

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

Jade

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

Lavender Jade (Jadeite)

Jadeite - Sodium Aluminum Silicate (NaAlSi2O6)

NaAl(Si2O6)

Jadeite (Jade)

Jadeite, NaAlSi₂O₆

Icy Jadeite (Jade Bangle)

Jadeite, NaAlSi2O6 (Pyroxene group)

Jadeite Jade

NaAlSi2O6 (Sodium Aluminum Silicate)

Green glassy stone, possibly aventurine or green jade

Unidentifiable from the image; possible quartz-rich aventurine (SiO₂) or jadeite/nephrite

Blue schist (likely glaucophane schist)

Glaucophane schist; chiefly glaucophane amphibole with mica, quartz, and possible lawsonite/epidote

Carved Mottled Greenish-Yellow Crystal/Glass Object

Unknown; possibly a form of quartz (chalcedony/jadeite/nephrite) or glass/resin.

Jadeite Jade

NaAlSi2O6 (Sodium Aluminum Silicate)

Greenstone / River Jadeite pebble

Metavolcanic rock / Chlorite or Actinolite-rich schist

Dyed Pink Quartzite (Jadeite Simulant)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with organic dye

Tumbled green feldspar or serpentine

Likely microcline feldspar (KAlSi₃O₈) or green serpentine-group mineral; exact identification requires testing

Tumbled dark-green stone, possibly serpentine

Undetermined; serpentine-group rock (predominantly serpentine minerals) is a tentative visual identification

Green Aventurine

Quartz variety (SiO2 with inclusions)

Tumbled serpentine

Serpentinite; chiefly serpentine-group minerals, Mg3Si2O5(OH)4

Green gemstone ring, likely emerald simulant or jade

Uncertain; possible beryl (emerald, Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈) or jadeite (NaAlSi₂O₆), but the blurred image may show synthetic glass or another treated stone

Green Aventurine

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with inclusions of Fuchsite

Nephrite Jade

Ca2(Mg, Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2

Riverstone Quartz (Quartzite)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Beaded gemstone bracelets, likely lavender jade/quartz and blue-gray sodalite or dumortierite

Probable jadeite/nephrite or lavender quartz; blue beads may be sodalite (Na8(Al6Si6O24)Cl2) or dumortierite

Green serpentine-rich rock (probable nephrite/jade-like specimen)

Serpentinite, chiefly serpentine-group minerals (Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄); possibly minor nephrite amphibole

Milky Quartz with Fuchsite inclusion

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) with Chromium-rich Muscovite

Polished serpentine (likely greenstone)

Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite/lizardite: Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄

Red Jade (Dyed Quartzite)

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) - variety Quartzite

Greenstone / serpentinized rock

Serpentinite, commonly dominated by serpentine-group minerals (antigorite, lizardite, or chrysotile)

Serpentine (polished/tumbled)

Serpentine-group minerals, chiefly antigorite, Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄

Tumbled greenstone/serpentine pebble

Silicon Dioxide (SiO2)

Blue-green serpentinite (likely copper-stained)

Serpentinite; chiefly serpentine-group minerals, commonly with malachite/chrysocolla or other copper minerals

Tumbled greenstone (likely serpentine or jade-like stone)

Likely serpentine-rich serpentinite; exact identification is not possible from the image alone

Tumbled greenstone / serpentinite (probable)

Serpentinite, chiefly Mg-rich serpentine minerals (antigorite, lizardite, chrysotile), possibly mixed with chlorite, magnetite, or carbonate

Serpentinized ultramafic rock (serpentinite)

Serpentinite, dominated by serpentine-group minerals (lizardite/chrysotile/antigorite), with possible magnetite, talc, and brucite
