<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 9527167, member: 2844&quot;]Jade has been found in at least one meteorite, but in this case it is the latest advertising spam/scam from China.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sour:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Jade can be just about any colour.</p><p><br /></p><p>Hongshan is a pre-historic archaeological site in China.</p><p>Very few Hongshan jades were found, and nearly all are in Chinese museums.

They make a travesty of their own heritage.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Could be mica in the clay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
