This is a lovely and palm-sized, nephrite jade heart. She is a glorious deepest green that comes alive under a good light and really features her delicate and subtle shading. The polish is perfect and really shows the depth of color. Nephrite jade is such a wonderful stone! It is composed of calcium, magnesium, and iron-rich amphibole minerals (tremolite and/or actinolite) and is sacred in Chinese culture and traditions. At 4.7 oz and 2.3” by 2.35” by 0.75”, she is the perfect size to fit comfortably in the hand or between the hands and it is a meditation in and of itself just to gently tilt and explore in the light to study the play of color and depth. She is exquisite!
