Subject:Zhou Dynasty Jade....
Posted By: Lisa Sun, Aug 16, 2015 IP: 5.70.212.18

OK nobody seems to have reacted much to my posting on my bead... Even though slot of views... Not sure if that's because nobody knows or whether it's not even worth discussing.... OK.. Zhou Dynasty examples are the closest things I am able to find.... So if nobody tells me why it can't be that's what I will have to conclude....!? Any help appreciated.....

To test jade vs synthetic (resin,etc), heat up a pin or similar very hot, and stick insert it somewhere not too obvious. Resin will be penetrated easily and smell unnatural.

Better photos, as suggested, would be worth your time too.

If you really want this piece to be verified as Zhou jade rather than modern pastiche, your best avenue would be in-person examination by at least one very experienced expert rather than asking for judgments based on a few mediocre photos and no actual description, posted on a message board.
