<p>[QUOTE="Chris Chen, post: 10253183, member: 90637"]No, this is jade, slightly translucent, highly calcified from being buried for thousands of years. My grandfather was in the leather and licorice business in China's Liaoning Province and Inner Mongolia in the 1930s. The surrounding villagers could pick up these jade articles in the mountain streams. My grandfather could exchange them for these jade articles with very little money or even candy, because no one knew what these things represented at that time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
