Abstract:Chrismatite (which is named as Taishan jade for short) discovered in Wuyi area of Jiangmen city in Guangdong province has the characteristics of brilliant colour, delicate and moist texture and high hardness. In appearance, Taishan jade, Huanglong jade and quartz jade are very similar and belong to silica quality jade. However, their inertnal quartz particle size is a grdual change from the structure. There is not a very obvious boundary among different types. There are many common problems about how to name Taishan jade, and how to distinguish Taishan jade and Huangla jade. In addition, researches on geological occurrence and the origins of mineral deposits are relatively weak. By using the polarizing microscope, chemical analysis and infrared spectrometer, formation and gem mological and mineralogical characteristics of Taishan jade have been studied and analyzed. It will provide support of for commercial operation of Taishan jadein Wuyi area.
