The blue coloration of jadeite is attributed to Fe2+-Ti4+ charge transfer interactions.
Petrographic analysis indicates a two or three-stage formation process for the Myanmar blue jadeite.
Recrystallization textures differ significantly between blue and white jadeite regions.
The chemical composition shows higher levels of Ti, Fe, Ca, and Mg in the blue domains compared to white.
