Posted By: Patrick Norton Tue, Nov 01, 2011 Yah, I do not think it is jade either and the dye stuff is actually part of the stone, deep in the stone and not on the surface. The seller said calsified but this is not calsified, not sure what these stones are, they are freezing cold so they are stone. Parts look like bowenite but then the clouds of white make me think serpentine. Not sure what to think of these; more photos, any clue of rock type?
