The issue of Chinese sellers calling many stones "jade" has also been discussed in several expositions I have composed for this Forum.

Rather than repeating myself yet again, please refer to past dialogues regarding this issue.

In-brief, this is a name-translation issue. The beads we are discussing are not "jade." Either the sellers are ignorant of mineralogy, or they are merely saying "jade" as a selling feature to make their product seem "more important."

From 2006:
