Descripción

Mineral consisting of sodium aluminum silicate, usually containing small amounts of iron, calcium, and magnesium. It constitutes the more valuable variety of jade, ranging in color from pale to dark green that is commonly called jade; neprhite is the other mineral called "jade." Jadeite is highly valued for its translucent glassy appearance; it is found chiefly in China, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Mexico.
