Thanks and sorry for the delay in responding - you're all set!
Hello,
We have a question on this appraisal: Was this appraised as being real jade? If not, how would that change the value?
Thank you!
Hi Claiborne,
In 99.9% of these, its not jade but other jade-like hard stones.
If you've had this tested and can demonstrate (with documentation of a lab test) that this is actually jade, yes, the value would increase if ALL the hardstone is jade (one or two small pieces would not make a difference).
Is that helpful?
Thanks,
Delia
Hi, I cannot find any markings in the inside or backside. I have added a pic of the inside. Thank you!
