GEMOLOGIST CHINESE GREEN JADE FIGURE OF A WOMAN, OLDER CARVING

This light apple green jade carving comes with a certified gemologist guarantee that it is carved of true jade/jadeite, not some impostor stone like serpentine.  In the last photo I include a photo of the appraisal by the accredited gemologist, and I include a photo of that document which comes with the piece. The true color of this green is a bit lighter than what the color might show on your screen. This example measures about 8" tall.  Note that it is not perfect, as there... is a break in the dress near the foot and the broken loose portion is provided, and the flower in her hand was once broken and reglued with old glue.  It might be, that being jade and damaged, it would still be of value to supply a lapidary/gem stone maker of raw material for cabochons or other carvings. You know the hardness of jade requires great patience and skill to carve.  The details of the face are well done, and there is some Chinese character inscribed on the surface of the fan she holds. This figure might represent Kwan Yin.  The weight of the stone is approx 1 lb and 2 oz. Check out my OTHER ITEMS/EBAY STORE.Visit my Ebay store for more items, both auction andBuy It Now..
