Identification work conducted to date on this material from surface samples relied heavily on SEM/EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope/Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy) as well as thin section and hand sample microscope work to understand the relationship to perceived color to the main mineralogical characteristics of the nephrite Jade itself.

Readers are invited to watch a special video of the stone's full visual effects presented in our latest Youtube Channel video "Change in the Jade World" here. While still photographs can illustrate how colors are seen from static viewing angles under daylight LED studio conditions, movement is needed to reveal the dramatic shimmering dramatic color transitions. Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol., the President of Jade Leader.įigures 1 to 7 below show a series of cut stones from Jade Leader's 100% owned DJ project which display color and texture variations on this color change phenomenon.

"We combined scanning electron microscope mapping, thin section and hand sample microscopy with trial and error lapidary work to understand how the stone's crystallographic fabric interacted with light to create this effect", stated Mr.
Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol., the President of Jade Leader. "To our knowledge Jade showing this color change phenomenon has never been documented before, so we had to create the most appropriate cutting and shaping techniques to properly exhibit the optical phenomenon from scratch", stated Mr. Gemologists refer to gemstones showing unusual optical effects such as color change, chatoyancy or asterism as "phenomenon stones", which can be highly prized by collectors and specialty jewellers. This Jade has a unique color change phenomenon whereby depending on the specimen, the color can shift from white to blues to dark green as the viewer's eye moves in relation to the stones.
