[QUOTE="Desertau, post: 9836941, member: 86775"]Our friends are excited about a new carving stone that looks just like high quality Jadeite, in the west we only accept jadeite and nephrite as true jade but in China the word for Jade (Yu) has a more general meaning describing the value, beauty and qualities of these stones every beautiful carving stone is called YU preceded by a descriptor of where it is from Xinjiang Yu, Dushan Yu, Xinmi Yu and so and so forth. this new find Du Long Yu (something Dragon Jade) my wife wasn’t sure the meaning of Du in this context, is a Quartz based stone with other minerals was found in China near Miramar in 2020 visually it looks like very high quality Jadeite, the cost is lower now as they try to understand the market but very popular locally and prices are expected to rise as available quantities are established. This new contender brings a beautiful alternative to Jadeite and new confusion identifying it from Jadeite. the rough stone image with gold colored inclusions, those inclusions are pyrite.
