Jade found an inexperienced weight (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

greenstone

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'jade' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'an inexperienced weight' is the wordplay.
'an inexperienced' becomes 'green' (I've seen this before).
'weight' becomes 'stone' (stone is a unit of weight).
'green'+'stone'='GREENSTONE'

'found' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for greenstone that I've seen before include "Mineral" , "rocks" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
