I do have a couple very good book on Jade but want more. Anyone can post on the internet and say they are an expert. Hopefully the books are a bit more exact in their science. I am open to any Jade books on where from, what is Jade and what is not Jade. Really interested in finding books that show and identify inclusions and such.
Why; Well, I look at Jade pictures of BC Jade and it comes in all colors and qualities. They say Polar Jade is the toughest and greenest Jade to come out of BC and the northwest region. When I look at pictures of Polar Jade I see a great variety and this is on the site run by the mine owners.
What caused this: Well, I bought a bunch of Polar Jade and there was a huge variety, even Chatoyant Jade. I thought I had been taken by a salesman. Turns out it is BC Jade and it does come in various shades, etc.
thanks ahead of time, Neal
