Posted By: Jonathan Wed, Oct 28, 2020 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. |
