摘要

The Rongli tremolite jade deposit is the only high-grade nephrite deposit in Guizhou Province, which was discovered in the last year by the authors. The Rongli nephrite deposit occurs in the contact metamorphic belt between basic rock and flint limestone. The tremolite content of the ore exceeds 95%. The nephrite jade has radiated fibrous blastic texture, felt-like blastic texture and compact massive structure. White jade, grayish white jade and gray jade constitute major species of the Rongli jade, which has weak greasy and greasy luster as well as rare wax luster. The ore bodies are large, and the nephrite jade is of top quality.
