Understanding Jadeite | GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar Series

GIA Knowledge Sessions Webinar - recorded live on June 24, 2021.
Jadeite Jade is the most valuable translucent to opaque gem. How do jadeitites form in nature, and where are their most important sources? What’s the difference between ‘Jadeite Jade’ and ‘Fei Cui’, and what do the terms “A Jade”, “B Jade” and “C Jade” mean in the trade? Tune in as Dr. George Harlow from American Museum of Natural History and Xiaodan (Holly) Jia from GIA Hong Kong cover the formation, sources, identification and treatments of this precious gem from an international perspective.

I've learned a great deal about jade from this one hour!!! Thank you GIA and the panelists!

[@HappyKaci]

Thank you so much for such valuable information about Jade. ❤

[@arnoldk7293]

Great information ! Many thanks

[@Indrid__Cold]

A SUPERB presentation! I had always thought jadeite was found only in Burma and Guatamalla! What a surprise! The young lady gave a FIRST RATE breakdown of the mineralogical specifics of jadeite and nephrite. Her explanation of jade treatment was the BEST I have ever heard. I was in the jadeite business for 15yrs, and it took me a long time to understand everything you covered in this video. My compliments!

Wow, what a time to be alive! When one can search "jade petrogenesis" and be confronted with an hour of true knowledge about this magnificent stone... Thank you Dr Harlow, Holly, and Natalie. I started out mining for gold, but it seems more and more clear that I've found locality #17 to add to that list. The information about the relation between thrust faulting, fluid movement, and obduction of jadeite was eye opening.
