Panel - Fei Cui Jade
Jadeite jade, as it is known in Western markets, ranks second only to diamonds by value as a jewellery category worldwide. In China, these fibrous polycrystalline aggregates, composed solely or principally of the minerals jadeite, omphacite and kosmochlor, or any combination of the three, are known as Fei Cui (翡翠).
With this terminology question on the table, CIBJO, the World Jewellery Confederation, has been working to create a single, clearly defined and universally accepted set of standards, practices and nomenclature.
