Message Hello Anita (and Bill), I have to agree that this elongate bead appears to be a recent fake�and I agree that it has been crackled and turned red (the pigment gathering in the cracks, mainly). The Chinese have been making similar fakes, that I know of, since the early 1980s. I will bet it is serpentine, and not jade. Bowenite? OK. Jamey Post a Response |
