Subject:Help with marking on Jade pendent
Posted By: Brett Sat, May 25, 2019 IP: 69.113.7.85 Tested with sharp pin and couldn't scratch it. Jade or maybe some other hard stone? Any idea on what the marks say? The carving doesn't look to bad to my amateur eye. Thanks for any help. |

Posted By: Brett Mon, May 27, 2019 Thanks for the comment. I am sure that I pressed hard enough it did indeed make a line on the piece when I tested. Which was a blackish/gray line of the steel coming off onto the piece. It is definitely harder than steel, but whether it is jade or bowenite I am not sure. |

Posted By: Brett Mon, May 27, 2019 Thanks for the comment. I assumed it was probably more modern, but I was wondering if maybe it was an artist signature or a poem of some kind. |
