Chinese Jade/ nephrite panther pendant /has a small hole/ 3" long, can someone tell me how old this can be? Im not sure if its from China, maybe someone knows?
Thank you!

Bad pictures, for one. .
Guessing, somewhere around 1975 , Chinese. .

Hello, From the photos it appears to be dyed which usually means it is not very old. Hard to tell because of photo size. Look at eh fissures all over the piece and see if you get he sense that all fissure areas are darker. That is usually a sure fire method to know it was dyed. You can also perform a water specific gravity test to see if it is nephrite.

Thank you very much!
