Re: is this dragon turtle carving jadite? |

Message From all indications it seems to be made from Serpentine, which is closer to Nephrite, rather than Jadeite.It is a very modern carving. With a strong needle, make a 2-3 mm scratch in an inconspicuous spot, and tell us if it is a white or black line. Ernest Post a Response |
