Nephrite jade, the mineral species to which Kona Jade belongs, is a metamorphic rock formed through the alteration of other minerals under high pressure and temperature conditions. Kona Jade, specifically, is found in the western part of the Big Island of Hawaii, where it was formed over 200 million years ago. The unique geological history of the region, characterized by intense tectonic activity and volcanic processes, contributed to the creation of this extraordinary gemstone.
