Jadeite
Jadeite is a pyroxene mineral with composition NaAlSi2O6. It is monoclinic. It has a Mohs hardness of about 6.5 to 7.0. The mineral is dense, with a specific gravity of about 3.4.Jadeite's color commonly ranges from white through pale apple green to deep jade green but can also be blue-green (like the recently rediscovered "Olmec Blue" jade), pink, lavender and a multitude of other rare colors. Color is largely affected by the presence of trace elements such as chromium and iron. Its translucence varies from opaque to almost clear. Jadeite is one of two minerals recognized as the gemstone jade. The most highly valued colors of jadeite are the intensely green, translucent varieties, though traditionally white has been considered the most valuable of the jades by the Chinese. Jadeite is rare, its presence at the surface indicates great uplift of earlier buried regions and great amounts of erosion.
Jadeite ranks near the top of a list of one of the most valuable gemstones in the world. This gemstone is jade's most expensive, most beautiful variety. Since this deep green translucent gem is significantly rarer than other types of jade, it is worth much more. Jadeite value is based on the level of transparency and depth of color. Some very fine pieces have even sold over $1 million per carat.
Jadeite is known for the bright electric green of imperial jade, jadeite can actually occur in many colors, including lavender, yellow, orange-red, blue, black and colorless highly prized in Chinese, Mayan and Maori cultures, this stone has an extensive body of folklore. Jadeite value depends on its translucence and texture, with top-quality material appearing to be full of water, or like a drop of colored oil. Still, determining the price of a piece of jade involves more subjectivity than most gemstones. The artistry of the piece play a very important role. There's a Chinese saying: "Gold has value, Jade is invaluable.".
翡翠（jadeite),也称翡翠玉, 翠玉，缅甸玉，是玉的一种。翡翠的正确定义是以硬玉矿物为主的辉石类矿物组成的纤维状集合体。在古代翡翠是一种生活在南方的鸟，毛色十分美丽，通常有蓝，绿，红，棕等颜色。一般这种鸟雄性的为红色，谓之“翡”，雌性的为绿色，谓之“翠“。
翡翠呈现玻璃光泽，半透明或透明。翡翠因含有不同的染色离子而呈现各种颜色，通常有白，红，绿，紫，黄，粉等。纯净无杂质者为白色，若含有铬元素，则呈现出柔润艳丽的淡绿，深绿色，名之为翠，此品种最为名贵，极受人们的珍视喜爱。若含锰则呈现淡紫色，深紫色，常称之为春地或藕粉地。含铁元素，则呈现暗红，褐红，赤红色，被人称之为翡。含铬和铜元素，则呈现淡蓝，淡青色，人称橄榄水。高档翡翠除颜色好之外，质地也极其重要，一般颜色鲜嫩漂亮，质地较透明，玻璃光泽强者为上品。
随着翡翠市场的发展，翡翠价格逐渐上涨，又因翡翠属于硬玉，近年来，翡翠价格也日渐升高。除了鉴赏价值，翡翠还具有投资收藏价值。翡翠原石是在低温环境下，由极高压环境下形成的，属于不可再生资源。翡翠的由来已久，自清代开始兴起，并被看做是神圣的象征。翡翠原石，我们虽然熟悉，但它到底是宝石还是玉石？可能有些人不一定明白，翡翠原石又称硬玉，具双重特征，既称之为宝石，可列入五大名贵宝石，又称之为玉石，是玉石中之王。
