Thanks for posting that picture. It reminds me of mine own work from a year or two back, especially that nose! :lol: It doesnt look too bad; certainly within the top half of what you will find domestically (there's a lot of really bad ones out there eh?) Good on you for making the necessary alterations; Ive considered buying the odd cheap/nasty one & cleaning them up for resale in the past as a money-spinner, but have never gotten around to it.

Getting decent photos of jade is pretty difficult. Through necessity I have taught myself how to chase the sun around the house & capture a passable 'studio' shot (cant get my head around controlled lighting, heehee). From the photo you have it looks to be genuine nephrite & reasonable quality. Can you get a pic of it backlit? That would/should reveal its origins (if you want to know: ignorance can be bliss...) :wink:
