Subject:Is this antique jade?
Posted By: Michael O Mon, Jul 21, 2014 IP: 203.126.109.122 Sorting out my early collection of junk to decide what to toss and what to bury, decided to post a few pieces which I am quite undecided on, to get experts' opinions whether they are worth keeping. |

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Jul 22, 2014 It does not look like it has any age.. but that is the reason to keep it, and use it as a study piece. |

Posted By: Michael O Wed, Jul 23, 2014 Thanks both. It is not softer stone and it does have age. How old, I do not know, maybe not as old as Western Zhou. The photographs do not capture it well. Anyway, this goes into the "bury" box for the time being. Thanks again for your comments. |
