[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9812669, member: 2844"]That is probably the weight of all Hongshan jades put together.;) If you were to adorn the body of a deceased Hongshan official with such a chunk of jade, it would be crushed. I don't think a culture that treated their dead with so much respect would do that, do you? You tend to get so carried away by your excitement over yet another find, that your sense of logic goes out the window. If you take a few minutes to think about all the whys and wherefores, you will probably reach the same conclusion as everyone else. On the upside, you have a wonderful chunk of nephrite jade.:)[/QUOTE]
