The Jian forsterite jade deposit crops out over an area of approximately 4455.0 m2 (∼66.0 m long and 67.5 m wide). These jade orebodies are mainly distributed near the contact zone between marble of the Ji’an group and migmatitic gneiss, and occur as approximately elongated bodies along the N-S direction.
The jade deposit is mainly blocky with secondary layers visible on the surface and yellow-green rock inside, and varying degrees of serpentinization have occurred. There are pegmatite veins interspersed in the jade deposit, and a variety of minerals, such as tourmaline, mica, and tremolite, are developed between the contact zone of the pegmatite and the jade ore body.

The Proterozoic Liao–Ji rift zone is one of the important orogens marking
the formation of the basement of the North China Craton, which is located on the Longgang block in the northwest, the Helong block in the northeast, and the Langlin block in the southeast.
