Subject:stone brushwasher jade?
Posted By: Patrick Norton Sat, Dec 10, 2011 IP: 99.184.49.248

Knowbody was bidding on this stone brushwasher listed on eBay. I was the only bid and got it for under 9 bucks. Got it today and it seems like a pretty nice heavy stone. Not sure what kind of stone and the carving is kind of primitive; several lines where there should only be one. Put the brushwasher next to a serpentine dragon to show no color enhancements. Is this some kind of jade?

Yes, primitive, natural color, Serpentine, and very modern.

I thought it was serpentine; thanks Ernest. Has very little weight to the stone. Found similar stones on eBay under rare spinach jade. At least it is not molded glass. Thanks again.

Third picture has a Bowenite carving in front.
