• One larger pale jade circular geode (Item 7), with pronounced mineral crystal formation and natural colour variation




Material Characteristics


The jade pieces display the translucent to semi-translucent quality typical of premium nephrite and celadon jade. Natural colour variation ranges from pale cream and white through to deep forest green with grey undertones. The geode specimens show authentic mineral crystallisation with natural iron oxide staining (ochre and brown tones) and quartz or calcite crystal formations. approx 200 grams each. Size 10cm x 9cm x 9cm.




Condition Notes


All pieces are intact with no major fractures or breaks observed. The carvings show fine detail work consistent with hand-carving techniques. The geode specimens retain their natural crystal formations and mineral deposits. Minor surface wear and natural colour variation is consistent with age and handling. All pieces are suitable for display or collection purposes.




Provenance and Authentication


These pieces appear to be traditional Asian jade carvings and natural mineral specimens, likely sourced from established jade carving workshops. The consistent quality of carving and material selection suggests a curated collection. Pieces are numbered for reference (Items 1-10 as shown in photographs).




Display and Care


Jade is a durable material suitable for display in any environment. The pieces may be displayed individually or as a collection. Natural light will enhance the translucency of the jade. Geode specimens benefit from display on stands or shelving where the crystal formations can be appreciated. Gentle dusting with a soft cloth is recommended for maintenance.
