[QUOTE="Ratsy Brown, post: 328880, member: 5040"]hello all Here i have a carved chinese pendant from a stone i cannot identify. It feels too soft to be jade. I would say soapstone but in this blue colour? I havent seen one like it before. There is a bird of some sort on one side, maybe a pheonix. And a dragon on the other with its tail wrapping back round to the pheonix. A few holes peircing right the way through. I also notice some small spots of gold in places. Remnants of gilding i guess? Measures 5cm x 2.5cm. [ATTACH=full]109887[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]109888[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
