<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Desertau, post: 9798488, member: 86775&quot;]It’s true it is very difficult to tell much about the stones from a photo graph, having said that this is unlike the color of any untreated Jadeite&nbsp; I have ever seen, nor does it really look like nephrite it is too translucent and the inclusions have characteristics that most resembles that of Serpentine to my eye anyway. Some middle eastern jades resemble this stone as well, but they are softer than nephrite.</p><p><br /></p><p>serpentine examples</p><p>[ATTACH=full]486143[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]486144[/ATTACH] </p><p>Jadeite</p><p>[ATTACH=full]486145[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]486146[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>green nephrite</p><p>[ATTACH=full]486147[/ATTACH] </p><p>nail strike green nephrite</p><p>[ATTACH=full]486148[/ATTACH] </p><p>Black nephrite</p><p>[ATTACH=full]486149[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>So, yes looking at a picture is not definitive but of all these stones one is very close in appearance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
