Nephrite jade colors are primarily caused by variations in iron content and trace mineral impurities within its fibrous tremolite-actinolite mineral structure.

Iron is the main coloring agent in nephrite. Higher amounts of iron produce deeper green to dark-green shades. These warm or rusty colors typically develop from iron oxidation, weathering, or surface staining over long periods in alluvial or terrestrial deposits.

Collected since the Neolithic and Mesolithic eras, Scottish agates experienced a massive surge in popularity during the Victorian era, when they were famously fashioned into Scottish silver kilt pins, brooches, dirks, and plaid pins.

These are agates in matrix we collected during our trip to Scotland last year! Check out our series on Scotland agate hunting to see more!
