The Kazakhstan jadeitite deposit formed in the Early Paleozoic Junggar Balkhash fold system at ~450 Ma and is one of the world’s oldest jadeitite occurrences. The studied deposit occurs as inclusions in Chuerkulam’s shattered and schistositized serpentine mélange near Balkash Lake.
Three different jadeitite rock types can be seen in this area: (1) white jadeitite rock can be seen in the middle of the rock block; (2) colored jadeitite with albite; and (3) altered (dark green) jadeitite rock: the edge of the jadeitite rock was altered and may contain mica, garnet, and other minerals.

ⓘ Jadeite Formula: Na(Al,Fe3+)Si2O6 Habit: jadeite Colour: white, gray, lavender, or green Description: The majority of the jadeitite in this region is generally coarse-grained, usually white, gray, or lavender, and the ground exhibits a porcelain-like luster and coarse-grained textures at a size of 0.2–4.0 mm. Omphacitite in dark green occurs as veins. Vivid green jadeitite can be seen in patches and veins between the omphacitite and porcelain-white jadeitite. The jadeitite from Kazakhstan also exhibits a weathered yellow hue, similar to that from Myanmar. P-type jadeite. References: |
