Abstract:The serpentine jade occurring in Huoxianyu, Yingkou, Liaoning Province is distinct from the traditional Xiuyan jade. For its mystery color and sense of reality, we give it the name of "bronze jade". Study on the petrology, petrochemistry, mineralogy and gemology of the serpentinite shows that its forming mineral is lizardite, which is chemically poor in Si and rich in Fe, with various textures and structures. It is a potential resource with great developing prospects.
