Jade (Nephrite) Ring

Item Description

Jade is one of the most well-known and often valuable gems in the world. Considering that it's a "non gem quality" stone, it's remarkable how high the price of top material sells for. Jade (Jadeite / Nephrite) is often only translucent in clarity and while green is the most commonly associated hue for the material, you can find Jade in a wide range of colors, including colorless material. Here we have a carved Jade ring that is virtually colorless / white. This stone is a pre-embargo import from many years ago, and would make a great addition to any gem collection as they are not as easy to purchase as they were back then. Keep in mind that mining in Mogok and the surrounding areas seems to have completely come to a standstill, so nothing in coming out of the ground, and the prices are going up for good material from Myanmar in gem markets around the world.
