Loved and revered for thousands of years in China and and other traditional societies of antiquity, jade is a mysterious and some say magical thing. What is it tho? In this episode we'll clear up the mess and give you a platform so you can trade in jade knowledgeably.
A HUGE thank you to those of you who supported with additional footage of your exceptional jades~!

Wow Peter. I've gone to a dozen Chinese dealers who sold Jade and asked for info on what to look for, none of them had this much info. Often it felt like they were unwilling to share the secrets of the stone, and more than once they digressed into the ancient, mythical properties. As a result, I haven't focused on Jade as it just seemed nebulous. Kind of the same story with pearls. Anyway...thanks for sharing, so refreshing to finally have a better understanding.

Great video Peter. Quite complicated but I understand Jade a little more now thanks to you. I remember as a kid, going to a museum in Beijing and looking at some really intricate Jade carvings that were absolutely beautiful. Many of them had been returned to China by the Japanese government as they were of huge historical importance to the Chinese. I couldn’t help marvel at the intricacy of the carvings and the Presteigne condition they were in. Thank you for another great video.

Great info on your youtube videos, just one small request, can you slow down your speaking just a tad. I find I have to rewind throughout your talks to ensure I heard something correctly. What your sharing is excellent info, just want to ensure I can soak it all in. Many thanks for making these excellent videos!

I have recovered Nephrite Jade in Northern CA from the fabled Chan Jade Mine, it is a boulder that was not in a stream for long, and in Southern Oregon I found Jadeite, both green and Purple/blue. those boulders are slightly smaller, but still hundreds of pounds. And numerous pieces the size of soccer balls. I need to find a market.

Wow. Someone that knows more about jade than I do! Gott'a love it! You are a natural behind the camera. Highly educational and highly entertaining. Also this is the best YT vid on jade. Most are crap by self proclaimed 'experts', even in China.

Thanks, can’t wait for the next thrill packed episode. You’re my Saturday morning serial complete with cliff hanger this time. Have never really been partial to Jade, but I can see it’s beauty in your samples. So much good info packed in a few minutes. You could do a feature length film and I’d buy a ticket. 🍎 polished enough? 😁
