The piece of Jade that was used to cut this piece was probably Bowenite. The piece has a wonderful color and has the look of nephrite jade [old jade] but it is not, and it is much less expensive. No one would know that this is less than the real treasure of an Empress. A wonderfull desigh and execution strung with jade ball beads on silk thread. This piece has had two very nice silver hooks to latch it. Top to bottom hang is juct over 12", so it makes for a short pieceg when on an average neck.
