jadeite (mineral, inorganic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Mineral consisting of sodium aluminum silicate, usually containing small amounts of iron, calcium, and magnesium. It constitutes the more valuable variety of jade, ranging in color from pale to dark green that is commonly called jade; neprhite is the other mineral called "jade." Jadeite is highly valued for its translucent glassy appearance; it is found chiefly in China, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Mexico. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 含有鋁酸鈉矽石的礦物,通常含有少量的鐵、鈣和鎂。硬玉為較具價值之玉種,顏色從淡綠到暗綠皆有,通常稱為「玉」。軟玉是另一種被稱為「玉」的礦物。因呈半透明如玻璃,硬玉受到高度珍視。主要見於中國、緬甸(Myanmar,前稱Burma)和墨西哥。 |
Dutch ..... Monoclien mineraal dat hoofdzakelijk wordt gevonden in Birma; het bevat een natriumaluminiumsilicaat en is, wanneer het is gesneden, een waardevolle variant van jade. |
