<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 447879, member: 8363"]Any Jewelry. That information is so cool. I looked for irregular crinkly structures (though being from the US, I have never had a torn jumper to compare) as well as googled close up of jade structures and it looks like jade to me. Once I started looking at it more closely, I started to see more things that you weren't apparent at first. I thought the lower portion was part of the scaled body but it appears that it is sitting on a "peanut shell" style formation and has Chinese clouds. It is also quite dirty with imbedded dirt in many of the cracks. This gave me pause, as unless it was buried, this build up of dirt seems to indicate some age.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
