Nephrite is one of the toughest natural stones, and is even stronger than steel. Its interlocking, fibrous structure makes it dense and resistant to damage. Nephrite is often used for carvings, jewelry, and weaponry. It’s easier to cut than jadeite, but still tough enough to take on a high polish. Nephrite has been used for thousands of years, with some of the earliest tools made from it dating back 5,000 years. In antiquity, nephrite was often used for weaponry because it’s so strong.
