[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 10514, member: 118"]I never found a good guide about the stones the Chinese used for those type of carvings. Seems like everyone is calling them the way they want. Never heard of Huangtu and ribbon jasper. Some are described as made of qingtian stone. I am thinking the quality and the subject are the most important with these carvings. Otherwise, no idea how they figure the age if there is no marks( which could be fake of course). How does an old( and then how old we are talking about) stone like this differs from a recent one?[/QUOTE]
