Nephrite jade is a highly valued stone, and Pakistan is known for its beautiful variety. In Pakistan, the most esteemed nephrite stones come from the following regions:
Mohmand Agency: This region is renowned for its high-quality nephrite jade. The jade from Mohmand Agency is typically deep green and has a fine texture.
Hunza Valley: The areas around Gilgit and Baltistan are also known for nephrite jade deposits. The stones here can range in color from a rich green to a more subdued olive hue.
Chitral: Chitral is another area where nephrite is found, often noted for its unique shades and good quality.
In terms of specific types of nephrite jade, while there might not be well-defined "classic" stones like in some other jade-producing regions, the nephrite from these Pakistani areas is generally prized for its natural beauty and craftsmanship.
