The Hadaf Mining Company profits from direct access to the nephrite mines in Afghanistan’s Eastern Region, which comprises Nangarhar, Kunar, and Nuristan. These mines are positioned within the Jalalabad tectonic zone, which forms part of the Himalayan Mountains. Nephrite is a calcium, magnesium, and iron-rich amphibole mineral, and it belongs to the Jade family.
Our mining operations in this area have yielded high-quality green nephrite, which is considered an emerging source of this mineral. Our nephrite is characterized by its bright, vibrant colors and is superior to that found in British Columbia and Siberia. Nephrite has a rich cultural significance and has been used for centuries in various societies, particularly in China, where it is viewed as a symbol of power, wealth, and social class.
We provide both gem and curving grade nephrite that is suitable for jewelry and lapidary use. Our selection process is rigorous, and we aim to offer our customers the brightest, most translucent, hardest, and naturally greenest nephrite and jade stones available. If you are interested in purchasing natural nephrite jade that is untreated, unbleached, undyed, and unpolymerized at a reasonable price, please contact our sales department at sales@hadafmining.com.
