    Absolutely wonderful! What a thrilling find. I have a small piece of Hetain Jade sculpture and it is one of my greatest treasures!

    Yes, once you've seen and handled Hetian/Khotan jade in real life, you get what the fuss is about. It is magic, the most beautiful nephrite there is.
    I have a few Hetian/Khotan jade snuff bottles.

    Hetian/Khotan is in Sinkiang, Uygur country.
    Hetian is the Chinese name, Khotan is the old East Persian name, which is still used by the Uygur people of the region.

    I would feel like that about it mate if it had some real age to it

    Sadly I don't think it has. It's well carved yeah, but doesn't have any charm In my opinion

    Charlie asked me to show my Hetian Jade piece. If you run across something with those brown parts, I think that is a clue.

    don't get me wrong buddy, im more than pleased with it, i think its just the style in which the horses are carved /portrayed that makes me think its newer

    Don't know why but can never really appreciate anything that is modern, only things that have lived a wee bit

    The same way I would never show any respect to a celebrity look a like

    " he looks so much like Sean Connery, he even dresses the same"

    Um yeah but he isn't Sean Connery, and its more than slightly annoying that he is swanning around thinking that he is :)

    Stunning piece, Kiko!:woot::woot::happy:
    Russet parts are certainly a bonus when it comes to nephrite jade, collectors love it. Russet can occur on nephrite from other locations too, and it is always appreciated.

    And I have some pristine white, celadon, and imperial green Hetian/Khotan pieces that are recogized as genuine Hetian/Khotan. It depends on the pebble it was cut from, and which part of the pebble.
