<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 9749414, member: 10944"]That’s awesome that you’ve found some. I hope that day will come for me. I was walking through the souther CA desert with a Native American man once. He found one on our walk. He said they kind of jump out at him so to speak and that he finds them often. </p><p><br /></p><p>Working stone is probably a fun hobby. Also useful if shit totally hits the fan probably. People sell them described accurately as new and some in a more shady way. Nothing ethically wrong with selling new ones but it will muddy the waters for collectors. Particularly since the medium is notoriously hard to date to begin with. I think it was Christie’s that basically stopped giving specific dates to Chinese jades. Like they may say Ming or Qing but they don’t try to narrow it down much more than that usually because of trouble they’ve had in the past. It could be a different auction house I’m thinking of but they had put more narrow date ranges on jades in the past and had it backfire.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
