Subject:identifiyng jade bi?
Posted By: Rose Fri, Mar 29, 2019 IP: 2600:1700:f9b0:7600:

I am including three pics, the last 2 are of the same item. These were purchased from a long time, wealthy collector, but there is no paperwork to go with any of it. The first one, the notched one, doesn't look like jade to me? I know many people have said you can't really determine jade via a photo, and I completely understand that. My questions are - could anyone potentially date these, could anyone make any sense of the engravings on the second one, and identify the material that may be? And is it possible that the first one is jade? Upon just this image (which is all I have to go on) it almost looks like marble. Thanks for any and all info!!

from a kilometer away these are not good copies of ancient bi disc... therefore they can be dated with accuracy from picture alone: less than 35 years old.
