Because of its bright colours it was considered gaudy by more scholarly Chinese.</p><p><br /></p><p>The most sought after is mutton fat jade, which is nephrite. It has the nice velvety feel most nephrite has, matched with a soft whitish colour. Gentle on the eye and to the touch, like this figurine:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fz9u2p8w6.stackpathcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F10%2Fa-white-jade-horse-and-monkey-carving.jpg&amp;sp=1632145622T27a69373019ba13a60d4b99abf1ab6b96a487552da311841b15bfcac188b15a0" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><a href="https://sandiegoestateservices.com/collecting-chinese-jade-san-diego/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sandiegoestateservices.com/collecting-chinese-jade-san-diego/" rel="nofollow">https://sandiegoestateservices.com/collecting-chinese-jade-san-diego/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
