Gold silk jade is quartzite, not jade. The Chinese name 金丝玉 (jinsi) belongs to a quartzite from the Hotan and West Kunlun regions of Xinjiang, China. At 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale it is harder than the serpentine sold as lemon or yellow jade, and it takes a bright polish. The name points to its golden color and the Silk Road, and the stone is recognized in Xinjiang's own commercial standards — but mineralogically it is quartz, not jade. True jade means only jadeite or nephrite.
