∙ 7y agoJade is metamorphic rocks made up of tiny interlocking mineral crystals. These interlocking crystals make both gems exceptionally tough. Jade comes in many different shades such as green, orange, yellow and white. It is also graded from high to low in terms of quality. Only two types of jade are considered real: jadeite jade and nephrite jade and usually sourced from Myanmar, Mexico and Russia. Source: http://www.gia.edu/jade-description
