Yellow jade is a calcium magnesium iron silicate that can be either jadeite, nephrite, or a combination of the two minerals. Nephrite is one of the two minerals considered to be true jade, along with jadeite.
Nephrite typically shows up in yellow creamy white to green shades, while jadeite can be found in colors like blue, lavender, and even black. 
Understanding how jade forms adds to its wonder.
