<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 446530, member: 8363"]Any Jewelry. Thanks for weighing in. I don't have a gem tester, as I don't have any gems except for the sapphires I "mined" myself. I think it's jade for the following reasons. There are varied blobs and strands of brown intermixed and not in strategic places. There are small bits of bright green on the underside. In addition, the color is varied throughout the piece leading me to believe it is natural rather than glass. Could it be another kind of rock? I'm sure it could. I'll take it to my next rock lovers meeting and ask. Kiko[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
