Jade (multi stone set) (pre-embargo)

Item Description

Jade is one of the most popular "non gem quality" stones around. The material is often only translucent, but the beautiful traditional green color is what attracts collectors. This set features 31 "Round Cabochon" cut stones with good emerald green color, and are mostly opaque for all intents and purposes. A beautiful set of natural green Jades from Burma. This material is Jadeite (not Nephrite) Jadeitite, and hails from the Hpakan-Tawmaw Jade Tract of northern Burma. This is 100% NATURAL material here, no dyes or treatments. Jade is one of the most popular "non gem quality" stones around, and stones with this color are certainly sought after by collectors. PLEASE NOTE: The recent embargo implemented by the United States government states that there will NOT be ANY Burmese Jade imported to U.S. soil after September 30, 2008. Now that the embargo has gone into effect, one can only purchase gems that were imported prior to the embargo. From now on, these Burmese Rubies will be very difficult to obtain. Buy this gem now because they will be disappearing from the market rapidly.
