Message Tim: The two pieces you posted here did not resemble BC nephrite jades. I do not believe the large pig dragon was made of nephrite jade but made of serpentine. Cannot tell what the cong was made of with the picture, possible nephrite but not BC nephrite. Labor in China may be cheaper than those in Canada or U.S. but not that cheap. If a large cong is made of genuine nephrite, even if it is made modernly, it would not be cheap. It is really not that easy to make a cong especially one with more details and is carved with real nephrite. Most modern and phony congs are not made of nephirte but were mass produced.
