Talk:Jades/@comment-35245249-20190321142253

Ugh, absolutely the worst gems conceptually like...why call them Jades? Jades are comprised of Nephrites and Jadeites, what do these gems have anything to do with Nephrites? Utterly different job in society (seemingly) and design wise very different, and anyway if these gems HAVE to be Jades why not call them Jadeites, the counterpart to Nephrites within the Jade group? It'd be like Amethysts were one type of gem and then another gem cut JUST called Quartzes showed up, like what? Quartzes is a group, and Jades should also be a group, not just the name of some random gems with terribly reused gemstone designs (like so many of these have Pearl/Jasper shaped gems, then some have Peridot gems, like cmon, gemstone shapes arent that hard), idk, kinda annoying how inconsistent it seems sometimes when it comes to gemtyping
