Nephrite Jade Spheres from Pakistan

These beautifully polished nephrite jade spheres from Pakistan display the soft, earthy tones and subtle translucency that jade collectors value. Nephrite jade (a form of actinolite/tremolite) is known for its durable, smooth texture and natural green to grey hues, often with subtle banding or mottling from mineral inclusions—each sphere highlighting the stone’s natural variations for a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance.

Spheres are popular among collectors as they showcase the stone evenly from every angle, allowing colour patterns and internal structure to be fully appreciated. Hand-polished for a glossy finish, these nephrite jade spheres make elegant display pieces or additions to mineral collections.
