Nephrite is considered "soft" jade as opposed to jadeite and also considered more valuable. Jadeite's value is considered greater than nephrite because of its scarcity.

@Bikta Grainy usually indicates seedy and still can bear a waxy appearance, whereas jadeite is more glassy looking to me...more watery, perhaps?🤔

@6:35 I think that if Matthew is referring to a stone's "cleavage" traits, then he has mixed up the 2 kinds of jade or nephrite and jadeite because jadeite has interlocking fibers which makes it tougher than nephrite. Nephrite cleaves cleanly because it lacks the fibrous texture of jadeite jade.
@jeffreylai6796 Жыл бұрын
no nephrite is the fibrous one. Jadeite is harder by 0.5 on Mos scale than nephrite but nephrite is twice as durable as jadeite (toughness index 240000 vs 120000). So jadeite can scratch nephrite but nephrite is harder to break due to is toughness caused by interwoven fibrous crystals. I have nephrite pebbles from Hotan and just by looking at the interwoven fibers under the light u can feel its very tough.

You ought to look up Jades Art History because you’re not discovering or “inventing the wheel” when it pertains to this craft. The following website is an example www.ancient.eu/article/1088/jade-in-ancient-china/. Alaskans also create Jade artwork. It’s cool that you self taught yourself then pursued art in college
