[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 289784, member: 2844"]Natural jade can have those colour variations, but I think in this case Mother nature has had a bit of help. The concept of jade in Chinese culture is different from ours. To them it is a 'noble' stone, which stands for certain character traits. Other 'noble' stones can be called jade by the Chinese. Of course unscrupulous sellers will call anything jade, there is even a lot of (Peking) glass listed as jade.[/QUOTE]
