Posted By: Taylor Main Mon, Mar 09, 2020 There are no specks of green that I am able to see in the decanter. If you hold it up to light it is slightly transparent with little to no inclusions. - kind of merky but no specks. Why do you ask? Is that a characteristic of a particular mark in time?

Posted By: Ernest Wilhelm Tue, Mar 10, 2020 OK, I have to go by the color. . this is Bowenite, the hardest known Serpentine, once thought to be Jade, but then Mr.Bowen checked it, and the rest is history
