Subject:Jade Horse - True or False??
Posted By: dj Mon, Jan 26, 2009 IP: 68.7.249.109
Flash distorted photo somewhat. It is more of a speckled greyish. Pretty well detailed. Measures 8"x8". Has weight, but feels "soft." Opinions and estimated value ($0 - $1million) appreciated.

Hi Mr.DJ

Not jade, possibly heated and dyed alablaster, marble, and soapstone. If it is harder than iron needle, it would be Nanyang jade (not true jade).

Yesterday made, selling on eBay for few bucks.

Have fun
Anita

Appreciate info on "Jade" horse. Fortunately, I purchased as yard sale and didn't pay very much for it. Maybe I will "re-gift" it.....
