Taiwan Jade is a type of nephrite primarily composed of minerals such as tremolite and actinolite. It has a green color and is found in the Laonao Mountain area of Hualien County, Taiwan. It was first identified by Liao Hsueh-Cheng in 1956 and saw significant mining operations starting from 1965. However, its production has gradually declined since 1978 due to reduced output.
