Black Jade rough from California!

Excellent jet black color!

Top quality black jade actinolite.Very hard metamorphic cousin to nephrite black
jade. Same composition, refractive index and
polishing requirements but blacker and more opaque than the slightly more crystalline igneous
nephrite. In my opinion this top quality material
is blacker than the other new jades on the market
including Absolute Black from Arizona and the
black jade from Australia. May contain tiny gold
specks of pyrite which look like stars in a
midnight sky. Pictured wet.
