I am honoured that you took the time to post such an enlightening reply. I have read about the nephrite/jadeite history, but the rest is new to me and most interesting (I started a correspondence course in gemmology, but found it a little too difficult at the time. A couple of years later and having learned so much 'on the job' I may give it another try). As prices are displayed (giving an important baseline for bargaining), and as all the other customers appear to be local, I feel comfortable in buying the carved stones that best appeal to me and show an intrinsic beauty whatever they may or may not be made of. And your suggestions on what to call these stones is happy indeed and will be most useful. Thanks again for your generous advice. All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
