520 3 |a Color is a primary determinant of the value of jadeite jade, but the petrological provenance of the chromogenic elements of jadeite jade remains uncertain. The characteristics of the associated chromite in Myanmar jadeite jade were systematically investigated through a series of tests, including polarized microscopy, microarea X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (micro-XRF) mapping, electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and backscattered electron (BSE) imaging. The results demonstrate that the chromite composition in Myanmar jadeite jade is characterized by a high concentration of Cr2O3 (46.18–67.11 wt.%), along with a notable abundance of MnO (1.68–9.13 wt.%) compared with the chromite from the adjacent Myitkyina peridotite. The diffusion of chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn) in jadeite jade is accomplished by accompanying the metamorphic pathway of Mn-rich chromite → kosmochlor → chromian jadeite → jadeite. In the subsequent phase of jadeite jade formation, the chromium-rich omphacite veins generated by the fluid enriched in Ca and Mg along the fissures of kosmochlor and chromian jadeite play a role in the physical diffusion of Cr and Mn. The emergence of the lavender hue in jadeite is contingent upon the presence of a relatively high concentration of Mn (approximately 100–1000 ppmw) and the simultaneous absence of Cr, which would otherwise serve as a more effective chromophore (no Cr or up to a dozen ppmw). The distinctive Mn-rich chromite represents the primary origin of the chromogenic element Cr (green) and, perhaps more notably, an overlooked provider of Mn (lavender) in Myanmar jadeite jade.
