Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Wed, May 03, 2006 This could be lavender jade, and it could be natural (not dyed). On the other hand, it also could be glass. Then there is a certain quartz with that color. This is an item one has to see close up. |

Posted By: njg Thu, May 04, 2006 I think the stone is agate. The decoration, nothing obvious springs to mind. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Mon, May 15, 2006 Again, if it is jade, natural colour, then the light from behind should be at least as strong as the colour with the light shining on it.However, if it is a artificial colour, it is normally quite a bit lighter with the light from behind. I am still not sure. Specific gravity !! It must be app. 3.3. |

Posted By: Stan Thu, May 18, 2006 I tried to get a close up of the green spot. This is the best I could do. I don't know if this helps. |
