Green Siberian Nephrite Jade

Shaped and polished Pear shaped Green Siberian Jade gemstone

After Visiting the Tucson Gem show in 2010, I met a Russian seller from eastern Siberia who had river jade stones for sale, of which I bought a box of 20 of his River stones. These have been stored in the warehouse and forgotten about until May 2024,
