Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Mineral component of jadeite is the most basic cause which affecting and physical properties and quality of Jadeite. The jadeite is also influenced by its structure and texture. The pyroxene group minerals is the essential minerals in jadeite. The next important minerals include feldspar, amphibole group minerals. And the accessory minerals in jadeite usually include chromite, chlorite and limonite etc. Complexity of mineral component directly results in the variety of the jadeite category and the change of color, transparence, luster, specific gravity, hardness and processing property etc. So, the mineral component of jadeite is the most basic basis in evaluation of jade quality, and is of very important gemological significance.
