Detailed explanation-1: -Jade is a term used to describe two different silicate minerals-jadeite and nephrite. Jadeite is a sodium-aluminum silicate rock with a polycrystalline structure. It belongs to a group of rock-forming minerals called pyroxene (which includes minerals such as diopside and spodumene).
Detailed explanation-2: -Jade refers to either of two durable, compact, typically green gemstones that take a high polish.
