Jade Is regarded by the Chinese as
the most precious of precious stones.
You can buy a small piece in white for
£10, but a similar specimen in emer
ald green would cost you from £35 to
£50. The value of the stone depends
on the coloring and especially on trans
parency, luster and brilliance of tbe
beautiful emerald green, usually dis
tributed in splashes through the ma
trix, which may be white or greenish,
or even tinted with lavender. Rarely
Indeed does It occur In sufficient quan
tity to furnish a large example. Some
times small pieces uro selected to be

if you examine such beads, you will
find that they upproaeb the emerald In
purity of tone.—J. F. Blacker tn Lon
