Black Wyoming Jade

Slab = disc polished on one side.

REAL JADE – Black Amphibole Nephrite

The polished surface has such an intense mirror shine – to capture this with our camera – is unfortunately only partially successful.

So in natural high gloss black.

Nephrite belongs to the real jade minerals like jadeite and maw sit –

tough, compact, densely felted – therefore difficult to cut but super to polish.

The raw piece comes from the Jade Fields in Central Wyoming – USA

Weight: 370 g

Dim.: 11 x 10 x 2 cm

The “Black Jade”, cut as jewellery, is highly valued especially in Asia and sold at carat prices.

The last picture shows the backside – sawn but not polished.
