Sheep fat jade is a very rare and precious gem-grade jade. In ancient times, only emperors and generals were qualified to use it. The "white jade" in ancient perfection actually refers to suet jade. The main components are tremolite, epidote and actinolite, among which tremolite content is as high as 99%, which is suitable for impurity-free.

The composition of suet jade is mostly tremolite, which is essentially a silicate, fibrous or interwoven with new crystals. Sheep fat jade looks very uniform in texture and fine in structure because of its fine fibers, and no defects can be seen by naked eyes.
Tremolite jade is also a kind of nephrite, but the tremolite content in suet jade is particularly high, so the jade looks delicate and flawless, and it is really perfect. The hardness of suet jade is second only to jadeite, ranging from 6 to 6.5, and it has very high toughness.
The luster of suet jade is not pure white. You can see a faint yellow light by candlelight and a faint pink light by sunlight or white light, so some people call it "pink jade".

Sheep fat jade is very oily, and it is often touched by hand, as if there is a layer of oil on the surface, which feels suitable and delicate. The best proof of its oiliness is to hang the suet jade with a thin thread and throw it into the water, and then lift it to reach the dripping position.
