    Hey you guys :)
    Got this at a flea market - do you think it's real Jade/Jadeite? The stones are hard, heavy, cool to touch, not really translucent in the light. But it appears that the mottled spots are more translucent than the surrounding stone. Thank you so much for looking.

    Look through a loupe and if you see any tiny air bubbles, then it would be faux jade I believe.

    They don't appear to be round. I don't know what this means.

    They are perfectly round and smooth but the mottled spots make them appear lumpy.

    It is gorgeous Bohemian/Czech Peking glass. Not jade, but certainly collectible.

    The Bohemian glass manufacturers copied Chinese jade Peking glass in the late 19th century. Production went on in the first half of the 20th century.

    Great info. I see this stuff occasionally but since I can’t confirm stone I put it back.

    No, it's about 28" long so it fits over the head I guess
