Does jade or jadeite occur naturally in other colors beside white or green?

I have several pieces of jade in various colors, red, lilac, yellow, white and green. Being something of a purist, I wonder which are natural and not "improved". I just heard that green is natural because of its proximity aventurine in the mines. Thanks in advance for your interest and responses, reflective. I apologize for the spelling, because there seems no spell check in this block.

Jadeite comes in a range of colors. Jadeite color green is a small chromium content and has nothing to do with that is colored aventurine green because the green mica flakes in it. To say the spotted jade, apart from nature is not always easy, but careful examination under a microscope usually show a concentration of color between Crystalites. Spectroscopy analysis is probably the safest method.
