Subject:Is this little Jade pendant old?
Posted By: Tom W Tue, Apr 17, 2018 IP: 184.98.112.98 This pendant is dark green jade. I'm wondering if anyone can tell it's age from the style of carving. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Wed, Apr 18, 2018 This looks poured , not carved. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Fri, Apr 20, 2018 white scratch is visible ?or is the scratch black ? |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Apr 24, 2018 In this case, the stone is definitely not Jade. It is a softer stone,a Serpentine. |

Posted By: Tom W Thu, Apr 26, 2018 OK so it's incredibly hard and unusually colored serpentine. My feeling is old nephrite (which can be soft) but nonetheless, the original question remains. Is it old? |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Fri, Apr 27, 2018 Old Jade is not soft, that is only an explanation of the person who wants to sell it. The stone is definitely old, but the carving is not. |

Posted By: Tom W Thu, May 03, 2018 You say the carving is not old. Is there a particular reason you arrived at that conclusion? |
