Dear J Goh

The shop/museum called Cultural Museum Gallery, I do not know, but there is a small counter selling jade artefacts in the book shop of HK cultural museum of art. the price is very high and nobody can quarantee the authenticity. Buying at your own risk.

Dear J.G

That is not jade, I mean both nephrite and jadite. It is acid treated, dyed and stained serpentine(cheaper and softer stone, worth nothing at all), just like those tourist souveniors, this piece does not indicate any work of any period of Chinese History.
