Jade is type of silicate and is formed of either jadeite or nephrite. These are two distinct materials but look the same and have the same uses.
 
Nephrite, which is dark green and takes a very smooth polish, was then somewhat forgotten as jadeite became the forefront. Today, both these variants are sold under the name of jade.
