<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 4237025, member: 5833"]Have I ever mentioned I hate jade nearly as much as black stuff? I know I can't tell nephrite from jadeite based on my own experience, so resorted to my very good gems & minerals guide, which has ample color photos One pic has a group of 6 cabochons that look just like OP for color distribution, IDed as nephrite. I do see also a strand of beads very much like yours that are IDed as Burmese jadeite. Nephrite is more common to China than jadeite, hence I lean to nephrite.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
