Various characteristics can be identified between these two terms referred to as ‘jade’. First of all, nephrite is found in Canada, Russia, China, Taiwan, USA, New Zealand and others, whereas jadeite is only commercially found in Myanmar, with traces of deposits in Guatemala and USA. Secondly, nephrite colors range from white, yellow, light green to dark green, as well as black. Whereas jadeite displays almost all colors in different hues. In both minerals, the color is distributed throughout the stone in various ways. Evenly distributed colors in jade are classified as high-grade material. Both nephrite and jadeite often have veins, blemishes and streaks running through the stone, though these may not be always regarded as flaws. On the contrary, some of these patterns can be particularly valuable in its distinctiveness.
