Message Dear Peach88 Pls stop spending your money for that kind of junks, they are next to nothing, you can only re-sell them in kilogram as per market value of the stones plus US$ 10 for craftmanship, not in the value of antiquities. That cock and owl are possibly new jade or serpentine or the worst is a molded glass. The Liangzhu T'sung is not the correct stone type of Liangzhu culture, possible BC nephrite or Dushan stone. "Dushan jade or Nanyang jade" is actually Saussurite a variety of plagioclase rock in the family of feldspar, the hardness is 6-6.54 in Moh's scale, and not in the group of gem stone like jadeite or nephrite. Sad but true. Have fun Anita Mui Post a Response |
