*Jade SPRING BOOKS, LONDON, ENGLAND, 1967. J. P. Palmer, an Assistant Keeper at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, has provided a comprehensive introduction to the fascinating story of jade~what it is, where it came from, how it was carved and how it was used.. Good/none. see pictures Jade a spring art book...this is a light green cloth covered book with one Japanese symbol on the cover embossed gold. Gold letters named Jade in the name of the author on the spine the spine is in good shape there is some edge where group of fading on the edges of the cloth finish but it's not bad there is a little bit of rounding up the top and bottom corners of the book, which I think is due to the heaviness of the fabric used to wrap as a cover. There is an inscription first page of three lines Wonderful color photographs examples of objects throughout the book and an introduction describing all mineralogy of jadeite,nethrite, or simply Jade and discussions about methods used to work with it for someone interested in mineralogy or collecting objects this would give them an excellent basis to be somewhat cognizant...many times people that are interested in starting collections like to have background research material in this book would be excellent for that....The name jade refers to two different stones, nephrite and jadeite, which have similar properties. Nephrite, the jade carved in China for thousands of years, is a calcium magnesium silicate with hardness of 6 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale (slightly softer than quartz). Although not especially hard, nephrites structure of tightly packed microscopic fibers makes it uniquely tough. In fact, it is the toughest (hardest to break) of all stones, which makes it the perfect material for delicate carvings. Translucent to opaque, nephrites subdued colors include creamy white, celadon, spinach, russet, and yellow Jadeite (fei cui in Chinese) is a sodium aluminum silicate, slightly harder to scratch and a bit less tough than nephrite. Jadeites colors are more vivid and include green, white, russet, black, and a delicate lavender- Nephrites combination of moderate hardness and extreme toughness makes it difficult and tedious to carve. This was all the more true for carvers long ago, who worked solely by laborious abrasive grinding using foot-powered treadle lathes. Although nephrite is not all that rare in the common colors and grades, there is a strong temptation to foist a cheaper, easier-to-carve pseudo-jade onto the unwary buyer. These lesser hard-stones are sometimes offered, dishonestly, as a type of jade. So when buying jade, first assure yourself that what you are buying really is jade.
