It is an amphibole-group mineral, a calcium magnesium iron silicate with an interlocking fibrous structure that makes it exceptionally tough despite a modest Mohs 6 to 6.5 hardness, and its green colour and waxy lustre come from iron content. Nephrite carries one of the most significant cultural traditions of any stone: it has been the primary jade of China for over 7000 years, was worked by the New Zealand Maori into pounamu tools and the hei-tiki, and was used across pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. It is a natural, untreated material. Origins: Canada, particularly British Columbia, is now the dominant commercial source, with additional material from New Zealand, Russia, and Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuturaSol Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nEach natural stone is selected for its authenticity, geological integrity, and energetic clarity.
