There are only two types of genuine Jade - Jadeite and Nephrite Jade. Nephrite Jade is a durable, colourful material that can be worked into shapes and given a high polish. It is mostly found in a variety of green colours, but it can also occur white to grey, yellowish to brownish, near-black and other colours and most stones will have some yellowish tint with some mottling. Nephrite is most often cut into cabochon owing to its opaque nature or fashioned into beads or tumbled stones
