Lot of Assorted Green Gemstone Cabochons
This lot consists of seven individual gemstone cabochons, likely jadeite or nephrite jade, displaying a spectrum of green hues from pale celadon to deep forest green. Included are three larger teardrop-shaped pieces and four smaller marquise or oval-cut stones. The larger stones exhibit a milky translucency with visible internal inclusions and mottling, while the smaller marquise stones appear more saturated and opaque. The surface lusters range from vitreous to slightly waxy, typical of the jade family. The stones are unfaceted, featuring smooth, high-domed polished surfaces which are characteristic of cabochon cutting techniques used to highlight color and texture in semi-precious stones. Notable features include subtle black speckling (likely iron or chromite inclusions) within the darker green stones. The condition appears to be good with a high-gloss finish, though slight surface abrasions may be present under magnification consistent with loose gemstones. These pieces are likely meant for jewelry assembly, such as pendants or earrings. Based on the varied color and texture, they likely originate from a modern lapidary context, intended for artisan craft use.
