Questions About Mutton Fat Nephrite
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Mutton fat jade is nephrite. Jade is one of the oldest known gemstones, but it’s actually made of two separate minerals—nephrite and jadeite. The two stones can look very similar, but have different chemical compositions and crystal structures. Find vintage and contemporary jade jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell for sure if jade is “mutton fat,” you must have the stone tested by an expert jeweler or licensed appraiser. This is because other precious and non-precious stones may show off a similar translucent milky white color. You'll find a collection of expertly vetted mutton fat jade jewelry and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
