There are numerous problems with the jade page. The main problem is it reflects a layman's view and lacks good technical references. I changed the mineral names and the hardness reference to nephrite and jadeite as well as a spelling error. The website reference to hardness no longer works and is in error. The reference 3 needs to be changed to - Klein, Cornelis and Cornelius S. Hurlbut, Jr. Manual of Mineralogy (after J. D. Dana), 21st edition. 1993. Jon Wiley & Sons, Inc. New York. I do not know how to correctly make these changes yet. See my web page at www.shunyadragon.com for more information concerning how I would like to update and correct Jade page.
