Jadeite is a sodium- and aluminium-rich pyroxene. The more precious kind of jade, this is a microcrystalline interlocking growth of crystals (not a fibrous matrix as nephrite is.) It only occurs in metamorphic retailer rocks. Both nephrite and jadeite were used from prehistoric periods for hardstone carving.
This listing is for the stunning Guatemalan jade necklace shown on the pictures. The setting is cord, and has a lovely finish.
