<p>[QUOTE="Aopocetx, post: 4291306, member: 19661"]I am pretty sure it's actually Jadeite as Nephryte is typically alot less translucent and also mostly brown. Put a light behind it. It should shine through. Then look at the light reflecting off of the surface. Does it look kind of like wax? That's Jade. Glass would obviously be glossy as opposed to semi gloss. (I would bet this is Jadeite if it's Jade for real which I think so).</p><p><br /></p><p>You say 9 pounds? For the figure that it is, that's an expensive piece. Congrats! I absolutely love Jade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
