Message Bad news.. this item is new, and the stone has been artificially "aged". A scratch test will reveal if it is Jade. Use a strong needle, and scratch a 2-3 mm line on a sound area of this stone.. If it is white, you got a Serpentine carving. .Make sure to exert enough pressure so that you get a white or black colored scratch. Ernest Post a Response |
