About
Jade beads are two stones and a family of trade names. Nephrite — BC jade and Canadian jade — and jadeite, Guatemalan and Burmese, are the true jades, tougher than their Mohs 6–7 suggests. New jade, olive jade and lemon jade are serpentine, African jade is a grossular garnet, and yellow, flower and rainbow jade are trade names. Rounds run 4mm to 12mm, with faceted rounds, rondelles, chips and pebbles, nearly all natural. Beside gold, pearl, carnelian and lapis, jade is the green a design settles on.
