Title: hacked open jade
Post by: lithicbeads on February 09, 2015, 07:47:21 PM

 This is a very nice green jade  that is from the mountains nearby. It was cut on a drop saw with multiple cuts so it is sort of a mess but we found what I suspected , very nice green jade.

I will hand sand a window to assess it more closely.
