# Profile

## Lore

Jadeite is an idol-like twin maid clerk of Nephrite. Both jewel princesses have a jade magatama on their head that matches each other as their accessory.

A graduate of St. Maidens Garden, she is one of the twin maid clerks working at Cat's Eye Special Delivery under customer care. As a secretary, she's in charge of accounts and is a regular participant in business talks and advice.

## Personality

Jadeite really likes her twin older sister, though as Nephrite frequently makes mistakes with her younger sister's help, it brings concerns to Jadeite and worries if her older sister can be independent.

Satisfied with her current life, she is grateful to several individuals, notably her boss and benefactor Cat's Eye, for granting her a work she enjoys. She also respects Iolite's work at managing the supply chain.

Citrine is their senior student graduate.

# Mineralogy

**The term jade is applied to two different types of rock, nephrite and jadeite, that are made up of different silicate minerals. Jadeite represents stability, good news and financial prosperity.**

Jadeite is one of the minerals recognized as the gemstone jade. Its color commonly ranges from white through pale apple green to deep green, but it can also be blue-green (like the famous, rediscovered "Olmec blue" variety), pink, lavender, and a host of other rare colors. The name jadeite is derived (via French: l'ejade and Latin: ilia) from the Spanish phrase "piedra de ijada" which means "stone of the side". The Latin version of the name, lapis nephriticus, is the origin of the term nephrite, which is also a variety of jade.

Jadeite is a pyroxene mineral with composition NaAlSi2O6. It is formed in metamorphic rocks under high pressure and relatively low temperature conditions. Albite (NaAlSi3O8) is a common mineral in the Earth's crust, with a specific gravity of about 2.6, much less than that of jadeite. With increasing pressure, albite breaks down to form the high-pressure assemblage of jadeite plus quartz. Minerals associated with jadeite include glaucophane, lawsonite, muscovite, aragonite, serpentine, and quartz.

Both nephrite and jadeite were used by Stone Age and Bronze Age cultures for similar purposes. They are both about as hard as quartz, exceptionally tough, beautifully colored, and can be delicately shaped. Thus for a long time they were thought to be the same type of rock. It was not until the nineteenth century that a French mineralogist determined that "jade" was in fact two different materials.

A great many jadeite beads and axe heads as well as the remains of jadeite workshops from the Neolithic era have been uncovered in Itoigawa, Japan. These beads and axes were traded throughout Japan and the Korean Peninsula and were produced by the world's oldest known jadeite-using culture, centered on the Itoigawa region.
