Note Bowenite is a variety of the serpentine species antigorite and classified as a semi-precious gemstone. Bowenite deposits in China are found in the Soochow region, which accounts for it also being called Soochow jade. Its green colour is caused by chromium and iron impurities within the mineral and its relative hardness makes it highly suitable for carving.
