Subject:Could you please tell me if this bixie is fake or not?
Posted By: Geoffroi Fri, Oct 13, 2017 IP: 92.153.125.237

Hello, I'm new to this forum. I would like some help regarding a jade bixie that I bought in an auction, here in France. Please take a look at the URL where I put many pictures: This item has so many mica like inclusions and additive crystals that I thought it was old... But in fact I know nothing about antique jade and I suppose that the fakes are numerous! Thanks for any help, best regards - Geoffroi

If there is a crystal reflection, then it sounds like you got a quartz carving. A specif gravity test should be able to tell.
