Is Jade a stone that is formed into a metal like alloy for weapons and armour, using alchemy and magitech? Or is it a metal in the Exalted world?

White Jade.Which variety does the Realm mint coins from? All of them? Has it ever been established?
Not really. Metal ores are stones. Then you take them and process them and then they become metal. Saying metals are stones is like saying ashes are wood.Metals ARE Stones...
All of them.
As far as I know the onyl type of Jade IRL that exist is green jade, or just jade. If it's magic or not I can't say, my power quest first start next weekSolfi said:... though the only illustration (in colour) of Jade I remember had the jade being green. Then, that might just be tradition shining through on the part of the artist.
Not really. There are white jade, black jade, blue jade, and red jade. They are simply extremely rare compared to jade, which is rare already as is.skafte said:As far as I know the onyl type of Jade IRL that exist is green jade, or just jade.

I was thinking more of a chemical standpoint, really. (It still is an overstatement but not by much)Jukashi said:Not really. Metal ores are stones. Then you take them and process them and then they become metal. Saying metals are stones is like saying ashes are wood.Metals ARE Stones...

From a chemical standpoint, they're even less like stones. Stones are all compounds of various elements; calcium carbonate, for example. Metals are either purified (like copper, magnesium, etc.) or alloyed (put through a process that chemically alters them). A metal ore is, by definition, not a metal. If it were a metal, it would not be an ore.
The only way metals are like stones, in fact, is that you take them out of stones.
