I'm not too much of a fan when it comes to Jades, but that dendrite jade looks fabulous.
Not only for its dendrites, but I absolutely adore the purity of the white colour.

the dentrics do create localized weak spots in the nephrite but sure stand out well against the white :headbang: I wouldn't mind getting hold of some myself:) I've seen some cabs posted that claimed to be white nephrite and now I know where the source is so I won't be so sceptical
