<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 248588, member: 36"]Natural blue jade is rare as heck, and I'd expect it to be set in gold if it's gem quality. Purple too. I've never seen any natural purple jade that evenly colored. If those two are dyed, odds are the rest are too. The black might be onyx or natural black jade..or dyed. Odds are that one is natural however; black jade isn't all that highly prized. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don't think the Chinese ever stopped making jewelry; they just didn't make it for export.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
