Description: Wyoming Cloudy Apple Nephrite / Jade 984 Grams 4 3/8" x 3 1/16" x 1 1/2"7 Faces Cut - Not polished Light Penetration is 1/4"+.This material will take an excellent polish. This specimen comes from the old Rhoads collection that was mined out long ago. The Rhoads family at one time had some of the finest Wyoming Apple Nephrite available. Many decades later now, it is hard to find any of that original stock being offered for sale. This very sound block of Cloudy Apple Nephrite comes from some of the last stock that wasn't highly fractured. Photos have been taken both dry, and with oil on the cut faces to enhance the internal colors and textures of this specimen. It is not polished. This specimen has some fractures. Pictures have been taken as true to life in colors and at times the contrast will be set lower to accent the specimens texture so please inspect the photos for the most accurate color, shape and texture of this specimen. The Wyoming Jade Fields have been hunted hard since the 1940's at the beginning of the Jade Rush Days. Most Wyoming Nephrite over 1 pound was easily spotted and hauled away when our Grandparents were young. This is why Wyoming Nephrite / Jade is becoming a increasingly scarce commodity as time passes. A Prospector can wander the open plains of Wyoming's High Desert if they still desire, but they will soon find out after many miles of walking and many days of searching that they would be blessed to just find a small 1"- 2" Float Chip. Considering a persons time, gas and supplies during a " Jade Hunt". We offer this piece at the fairest price considering the scarcity and quality of such specimens available.
