Jade primarily consists of two minerals: jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is a sodium aluminum silicate, while nephrite is a calcium magnesium silicate. Both minerals are composed of various elements, including silicon, oxygen, and aluminum, but their specific compositions differ, leading to the distinct types of jade. The green color often associated with jade is primarily due to the presence of iron and chromium.
