Subject:Is This Snuff Bottle Jade?
Posted By: Margie Mon, Oct 03, 2016 IP: 98.253.238.56 I'm thinking this is jade but not sure. Is so, what kind would it be? Thanks for any help in identifying it.

Posted By: Margie Wed, Oct 05, 2016 Thanks for your response, Stan. I was thinking because the chain and decoration are 14K that it might be a decent jade.

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Oct 05, 2016 Here's another one from a collection I surveyed that appears from the powdery look of its incised decoration and the small chips around its edges probably to be dyed soapstone or one of the softer serpentines. One might speculate that they're from the same factory.
