But jade is very hard and the differences look more than from environmental exposure? Just sayin it’s all I guess, Russian jade is not oily can have a more glassy translucent look and high quality material is desirable it is as hard as nephrite.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had a marble Lohan that looked very much like white jade, it had areas where the carver used a russet colored dye following the clothing where it wore away was similar.
