JADE

Jade provides much scope for confusion as there are two different stones  both known as jade. One is Nephrite jade, mainly from New Zealand, and is a deep opaque green often with black flecks. It can be carved but is nowhere near as valuable as jadeite, the other stone with the same name. 

This can occur in a range of colours -  white, lilac, brown, yellow, and the most valuable, a beautiful apple green. It is an excellent stone for carving, and often a large part of its value is in the quality of its carving.

The Online Shop does not have any Jade at the moment - but if you are able to come to our shop in Rye, we can probably show you some - please phone 07866 365456 if you would like to check.
