An unusual white banding pattern creates a radial structure in this sample of fei cui jade.
Small white crystals make up part of the composition of this sample of fei cui jade.
The fissures of this dyed (C-jade) fei cui bangle display a chalky appearance when exposed to longwave UV illumination.
Green color concentrations can be observed in the fissures of this dyed (C-jade) fei cui bangle.
Dye concentrations are clearly visible in the fissures of this piece of fei cui jade, which was also polymer impregnated (B+C fei cui jade).
Dye concentrations are clearly visible in this dyed green fei cui jade from Myanmar.
Dye concentrations are clearly visible in the fissures/grain boundaries of this dyed green fei cui jade from Myanmar.
The various crystal grains that are packed into lower quality jade are not aligned in a single direction. This causes the “orange peel” surface that is shown here. It results from undercutting, as crystals aligned in the soft direction are more easily cut away than those aligned in the hard direction.
A small crystal which we were not able to identify is visible in this piece of ice fei cui jade.

Fei Cui jade may contain mineral inclusions, fractures, veins, grain boundaries, color concentrations and other internal features related to its mineralogical composition, formation and subsequent geological history. Such features can provide useful information for gemological identification and the study of natural Fei Cui jade.

Fei Cui Jade Inclusion Photomicrographs

The Hyperion Fei Cui jade gallery includes microscopic features documented in natural Fei Cui jade. Each entry is accompanied by descriptive information and, where available, references to the gemological literature.

What Inclusions Can Reveal About Fei Cui Jade

Microscopic examination is an important part of the gemological study of Fei Cui jade. Mineral inclusions, textures, fractures and other internal features can provide information about mineral composition, geological formation and subsequent alteration, and may also assist in recognizing treatment.

Hyperion combines inclusion photomicrography with supporting gemological information so that individual features can be compared with documented examples of natural Fei Cui jade.
