Nephrite jade
Nephrite jade is a mineral that is formed when, for example, actinolite becomes felted. Nephrite is one of the 2 jade minerals. The other type is jadeite and where jadeite is the more expensive version of jade, nephrite is the cheaper version. The name comes from the Greek word nephros which means kidney. Especially for China, nephrite is an important mineral. And it is also extracted there in large quantities. Other relatively large occurrences are in Burma "Mianmar", Russia and Brazil where this part comes from.
