We’re Disabled Seniors with our Son who is a Paraplegic and just getting READY IS AN ADVENTURE HEHEHE. We are just recently became RockHounds and Lapidary. I Brought this to their attention to see if it would lift their Spirits and it Did as well as mine. Because seeing their Eyes Light Up Brought Joy To My Heart. So Rosie wife 49yrs is educating herself in Jade as wells I. Thank you for your outstanding video. We also are starting a RUclips channel and calling ourselves ROCKIN’ WHEELERS’ hehehe. Many Blessings
Yeah easiest way I like to remember it is Nephrite is an Amphibole, but all Amphiboles aren’t Nephrite. I’d still give them a benefit of the doubt since they probably don’t have a lab locally to send to for further advanced testing for identification.
watching once again this morning.

Good luck with your channel! We appreciate you watching!
looks like jade..hardness of jade...specific gravity of jade..you to some jade brother!
I gotta agree with you on that!!!
Oh yeah we Subscribed to your channel.
We have black jade on the south Oregon and California coast.
Super good video. Would love a video on how to recognize nephrite on the beach or in the Columbia river b
Great suggestion! As soon as we stop hunting the BLUE, we'll do a vid for green nephrite!
Another RUclips video on Washington and the Jade found there and where it's found in the state.
White jade was brought up as well!
Based on hardness to cut I'd make the call that it's Nephrite jade.
I am in complete agreeance with you! Thanks for the comment!
Amiphoble, actinolite is not nephrite or jadeite. Most nephrite or old jade is from China and jadeite is mainly found in Burma.
