Message Okay, I've traded for the jade piece, so if I have made a mistake, I can live with it. For the record, the piece was priced at $1,800. What do I have? Teach me please! I've attached photos. Weighs 68 grams. Measures about 2.25" long x 1.5" wide x .75" tall. Color of the photos are accurate, sort of a grey white jade with russet on one side of the head and hints of russet on the rear leg. I put the toad on the LED light of my cellphone to show the translucency...it doesn't look green with the naked eye, but in the photo it does (something to do with the camera I think). If you look at the carved areas, you see sparkles....I was thinking this was fine crushed gemstone, but I'm not sure. Age? Quality? Nephrite? Did I make a good trade? Thank you.
