| Description |
(public display, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois, USA) “Jade” refers to more than one specific type of metamorphic rock. The four categories of “jade” are: 1) jadeitite (jadeite jade) 2) nephrite/nephritite (nephrite jade) 3) chromian jade (maw sit sit) 4) serpentine jade Jadeitite (= jadeite jade) is a rare metamorphic rock composed of jadeite pyroxene - Na(Al,Fe)(Si2O6), sodium aluminum iron silicate. The highest-quality jadeitite occurrence on Earth is in Burma, southeastern Asia. The object seen here is a Chinese incense burner, carved from bluish jadeitite. The stereotypical color of jade is green, but it occurs in other colors as well, including whitish, pinkish, bluish, and lavender/purplish. This was made during the Qing Dynasty (Ching Dynasty). |
