Info by bard (goggle ai) Here's the breakdown of the difference between jade and gemstones:
Gemstone is a broad term encompassing a variety of beautiful, durable minerals or rocks that can be cut and polished for jewelry and ornamentation. They typically have these characteristics:
Natural color Good transparency Rare Stable chemical composition Can be polished Jade itself is a type of gemstone, but with a twist. It's actually an umbrella term for two minerals: nephrite and jadeite. Both have a tough, fine-grained structure that makes them good for carving. Here's a bit more on jade:
Can be various colors, but mostly green Can be translucent or opaque Made up of tiny mineral crystals So, to simplify: all jade is a gemstone, but not all gemstones are jade. Jade falls under the gemstone category because of its beauty and durability, but it has its own specific properties that distinguish it from other gemstones.
