Jadeite

Jadeite is a green to grey-green mineral, which used to be popular in making statuettes and decorative objects. Nations like the Olmecs or the Chinese valued jadeite even more than gold and other precious stones. However, in China, the famous emerald-green variety from Burma called imperial jade competes with the price of diamonds even today. If we look at its chemical structure, jadeite is a silicate of aluminium, iron and sodium. It belongs to the group of pyroxenes.
