<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EverydayShaman, post: 411914, member: 8789&quot;]Hello all,</p><p>I’ve acquired some artifacts that I believe originated during the Zhongshan Dynasty of China. </p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve had these items examined and tested by emeritus professors at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. The elements present in 3 of the 5 items compose Nephrite Jade. The other two are an Onyx/Jasper material. The items do not appear to be machine formed due to the carving imperfections noticed under examination. </p><p><br /></p><p>I acquired these items from a small antiques shop. Previously, they had all been in the collection of a single individual. His family sold them to the shop after his passing. </p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone shed light on these artifacts? I understand it’s difficult to do from photos only. </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
