Blue Dream Jade®
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A unique material among nephrite jades, Blue Dream Jade® is an incredibly hard, vibrant blue material with moderate translucense and a swirling-to-even pattern that takes a superb polish. It comes in several varieties, ranging from a "platinum/pewter," which shows steely blue in subdued light and shimmering platinum grey in direct sunlight, to a "midnight black," which is primarily composed of an incredibly dark blue-to-black with lighter blue vermiculations throughout. The blue color is caused by a higher-than-average titanium content, which results from the massive titanite and calcite inclusions that have pushed their way into the center of many of the jade boulders between the jade's individual "seeds." The blues of all shades test as tremolite (a variety of nephrite) with Raman Spectroscopy. Blue Dream Jade® also contains a fair amount of vibrant material best categorized as chatoyant. In the best grades, this chatoyant material has an even, cirrus-cloud-like distribution of shimmering threads floating in the jade's vibrant reflected blue light. This material retains uniform hardness unlike classic chatoyant jades.
