Jade Carving of Iguana in Bluish Green Guatemalan Jadeite Certified
About the Item
Winter will be here soon. Do you need a companion on your desk or beside your bed? This artfully and skillfully carved iguana may be the friend you need.
Most fine jadeite comes from Burma (Myanmar) but Guatemala is another of very few sources of jadeite and this bluish-green color is the hallmark of this location. The 50.06mm x 28.28mm x 13.40mm carving fits in the palm of the hand and has a flat bottom so it will sit on any surface. The jadeite is incredibly translucent, so the blue just glows and glows and glows. The lapidary artist included some of the rust-colored portion of the jadeite at the base: gorgeous.
The detailed carving work here is superb.
This whimsical, beautiful and rare one-of-a-kind carving can also be worn as a pendant. It ships with a certificate from Stone Group Labs stating the jade is untreated jadeite from Guatemala.

- Jade Pendant, Vivid Green, Impeccable Carving, Certified Untreated Chromium JadeLocated in Southbury, CTThe jade carving you see here is no ordinary jade carving. It is a variety of jade known as kosmochlor jade. What, you ask, is kosmochlor jade? Well, it is also known as chromium jadeite. And chromium is the chemical element that gives jadeite its legendary emerald-green coloring. Chromium also gives South American emeralds their legendary emerald green coloring. Chromium jadeite is like jade with an extra helping of green. It's intensely colored jade that is also intensely beautiful. The jade carving has been certified by Stone Group Labs to be untreated kosmochlor jade from Burma. As the lab certificate explains, "Jadeite, Omphacite and Kosmochlor are distinct yet closely related minerals, commonly intergrown. Western countries refer to all as jade and by their more specific names when identification is possible. In Asia, they may all be collectively referred to as Fei Cui. Kosmochlor may also be referred to as chromium jadeite." The 14K yellow gold pendant dates to the 1940s and the hand-carved jade depicts flowers, a coin, and what I believe is fungi. Prosperity, longevity; these themes are found repeatedly in Chinese jade carvings...Category
