Subject:Three jadeite pieces
Posted By: Don Thu, Jul 23, 2009 IP: 68.98.112.245
Hello, I believe I have three jadeite pieces here, they have all passed the scretch test, and I will be doing specific gravity test later. However I am a novice in jade so please comment regarding the age and quality of these pieces. Thanks.

Dear Don

They are newly made dyed white jadeite.

Pls be careful of Malaysian jade, a dyed and heated quartzite, an imitation of jadeite, a modern forgery which somehow hard to detect by seeing pictures on the net.

Have fun
Anita

You are right, those pieces are Jadeite and quite modern.
