The mineral assemblages, chemical composition, microstructure and spectral characteristics of quartzite jade from Taxkorgan, Xinjiang were investigated by polarized microscopy, electron microprobe (EPMA), laser Raman spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectroscopy (UV-Vis-NIR), and the coloration mechanism was discussed as well. The result indicates that quartzite jade from Taxkorgan consists of mainly granoblastic textured α-quartz and different amounts of epidote, dolomite, clinochlore, titanite, K-feldspar, pyrite, chalcopyrite, hematite and goethite. A combination of Fe3+ d-d electron transition and Fe2+—Fe3+ charge transfer in the crystal structure of epidote is the main reason for green color. Yellow and brownish red colors are primarily attributable to nano-micron-sized goethite and hematite within quartz particles or in cracks, and some related peaks in their first-order derivative UV-Vis-NIR spectra are located at 433-434 nm, 512-538 nm and 591 nm, respectively.
