Oval Taiwan Jade Cabochon

Highly prized since prehistoric times, jade has been used for many purposes beyond jewelry, including tools, religious artifacts, medicine, and musical instruments. Two different gemstones are accepted as jade in the gem industry: jadeite and nephrite. Jade consists of tiny interlocking mineral crystals of metamorphic rock, making it an extremely tough and durable gem. While jade is most commonly associated with shades of green, the gem occurs in a wide range of colors, including lavender, blue, and red.

These oval cabochons are genuine nephrite jade sourced from Taiwan, displaying a translucent medium to medium-dark green color with no treatments applied. Their classic oval cabochon cut makes them well suited for use in rings, pendants, earrings, and other fine jewelry settings.
