Hidaka Jade Natural Chrome Diopside Chips 100g (J.S.A. Certified Origin)

Discover the legendary geological story and extreme rarity of authentic Hidaka Jade, discovered in Hidaka Town, Hokkaido, Japan.

First discovered in 1966, Hidaka Jade gained international gemological acclaim as "The Third Jade" following extensive research published by Dr. Takeo Bamba of the Geological Survey of Japan. Scientifically distinguished from jadeite and nephrite, this unique stone is a chrome-bearing diopside rock given its delicate green color by approximately 1% chromium content, exhibiting a fine fibrous structural texture virtually identical to fine jade.

Due to rapid exhaustion of the original deposit shortly after its peak in the 1970s, authentic Hidaka Jade is celebrated among global mineral collectors as a prized "Phantom Jade" (Maboroshi no Hisui). The stone frequently features fascinating dark spinel specks, uvarovite garnet, pectolite, and amphibole group minerals.

In Japanese traditional culture and fine mineral appreciation, Hidaka Jade is honored as a prestigious symbol of profound wisdom, enduring longevity, noble ambition, and transformative growth.
