Nephrite, a tough and durable variety of amphibole mineral, is prized for its smooth, polished surface and subtle beauty. Typically found in shades of green, ranging from dark spinach to olive, it can also occur in white, gray, and black. With a hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, its interlocking fibrous structure makes it exceptionally resistant to breakage, a quality that has been historically valued for tools and weapons. Nephrite has been carved and cherished for centuries, particularly in Chinese and Maori cultures, where it holds deep cultural and spiritual significance. It is favored for its smooth feel and serene, natural aesthetic. Nephrite and Jadeite are both forms of "Jade," but they are distinct minerals with different chemical compositions and physical properties. Jadeite is generally rarer, harder, and can exhibit a wider range of vibrant colors with a more glassy luster, while Nephrite is more common, slightly softer, with a waxy or greasy luster.
