Zen,

    Red malachite is really jasper. It is true that malachite is always
    green. The green comes from it's copper content. In fact malachite is
    a common source of copper ore. 

    So, now yellow jade is not really jade?  Sheesh, there's another one
    I've got to change categories on my web site.  It never ends!
