Is jadeite a gem or a jade?
Jade, also known as jadeite, has dual characteristics. Since it is called a gem, it can be included in the five precious gems. Also known as jade, it is the king of jade.

Specific geological conditions constitute the humanistic connotation of jadeite jade culture, bearing the vein of jade and precious stones; So we can see two characteristics from its basic characteristics. Jadeite is a mineral object with many fiber crystals densely intertwined, mainly jadeite. Its hardness is 6.5-7, its color includes almost all natural colors, and its density is 3.30-3.34. At the same time, it also has a typical feature that other gems don't have-emerald. The so-called emerald is a kind of flaky flash with uneven size that can be carefully seen by naked eyes or with a magnifying glass, commonly known as "flying wing", and the small flake is called ofloxacin; The texture of jadeite varies greatly, and its luster ranges from glassy to oily and sub-oily. The texture is translucent-sub-transparent-opaque. From physical structure to hardness, color analysis basically conforms to the characteristics of jade.

However, due to its unique emerald and dense structure. The bright colors and translucent crystals of glass conform to the important characteristics of precious stones, so we can say that jade is a kind of precious stones in a broad sense, and it can also be called jade (jade, jadeite, Burmese jade) from the unique aesthetic habits and technological characteristics of orientals.
