Metaphysical Jadeite Appraisal

Rough Green Jadeite Specimen

This item is a small, natural rough gemstone specimen, specifically a pebble of green jadeite or jade-like mineral. It measures approximately 8-10mm in diameter. The stone exhibits a mottled, medium-tone green coloration with significant white and light-gray veining or matrix material distributed across its uneven surface. The texture is raw and unpolished, showing a granular, crystalline habit characteristic of nephrite or jadeite in its natural state. There is a visible fracture pattern and surface weathering consistent with river-worn or alluvial origin. No artificial markings or maker's signatures are present, as this is a geological specimen rather than a manufactured object. The stone appears to be of moderate quality, with the brighter green patches indicating potential for lapidary work, though the heavy internal fractures and matrix inclusions may limit its use for high-end jewelry. The accompanying background features an ornate, silk-covered textile box with an Asian-inspired geometric pattern, suggesting the specimen may have been part of a mineral collection or was acquired in a region known for jade commerce. The condition is entirely natural with no signs of human-induced damage beyond its extraction from its source environment.
