Original Message:   Chinese & Japanese speckle comparison for "jade" "Peking" glass

Hard to photo but easy to see with loupe or optivisor, the striped cane in the Chinese finial bead. The smaller Japanese beads seem to display different, monochrome crumbs [olive and spring green?] and a brighter polish compared to the slight orange peel texture in the Chinese bead. Presumably the Japanese beads date to at least 20 years later than the Chinese? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
