While it’s most popular color is green, which is usually a rich and intense green with a greasy finish, Jade can actually come in a wide variety of colors including white, grey, yellow and orange. Jade actually denotes two stones, which up until 1863, were thought to be the same mineral. These mineral stones are Jadeite and Nephrite.
