Lavender Jade. The Optical Spectrum of Fe^(3+) and Fe^(2+)→ Fe^(3+)Intervalence Charge Transfer in Jadeite from Burma

Creators: Rossman, George R.

Abstract

The optical spectra of green, white, and lavender jadeite have been studied. Ferric iron is responsible for the color in the green jadeite. It is proposed that ferrous-ferric iron intervalence charge transfer is responsible for the lavender color of jadeite.
