The Tashisayi nephrite deposit is located in South Altyn Tagh.in Qiemo County,Xinjiang Province,northwest China.It is a recent discovery in the vast,well-known Kunlun-Altyn nephrite belt distributed along the south of...
The Liaoning Province in the northeastern part of the North China Craton(NCC) hosts several tremolite jade(nephrite) deposits. Here we investigate the Sangpiyu tremolite jade deposit where the relationship between abu...
Electronic microprobe analysis showed that all QN samples are mainly composed of tremolite and minor accessory minerals, such as diopside, calcite, serpentinite, and magnetite. According to the cation coefficients, th...

Element characteristics of nephrite minerals were determined by glow discharge mass spectrometry (GD-MS) through surface adherence method. To solve the conductivity problem of non-conductive nephrite samples, high p...
Excavated jades dating to the Western Zhou period (1050―771 BCE) from the Xi’an area in Shaanxi Province, China, and contemporaneous jades in the collections of the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Insti...
Nephrite specimens from Longxi,sichuan,prepared by ion-thinning and dispersion techniques have been studied using TEM and SAED.A series of sub-microscopic textures such as (010)multiple-chain faults and related fault ...
