I assume you are talking about the last two images with plenty of elements of green and red. I do not assume that these are jade, rather small burned tiles assembled together, but I do not know for sure. When visiting the Taj Mahal in India, we did notice quite some decorations with semi precious stones at that building, but I would be very surprised if this was the case here.
Another fascinating images & narratives !!! Thank you for sharing. Shang.
