The polished jade specimen/sculpture I bought from The Jade Mine arrived late yesterday afternoon (Tuesday, Sep. 19) and I’m absolutely thrilled with it!! It is even more beautiful in person than I had anticipated from Nikki’s excellent photos and video, which she took and sent me after going to the warehouse, in addition to the photos on the website. This is a unique specimen, with fascinating nephrite jade coloring, a very pleasing, unusual, and substantial shape, and a smoothly polished surface with a mirrored finish. Nikki was great to work with throughout my purchase of this piece, quickly and candidly responding to my questions. The packaging was very substantial and thorough and the specimen arrived in perfect condition.

I’m attaching a few photos. We haven’t quite figured out how to light the specimen to best effect, but we’re working on that and it’s gorgeous in any light! Terrific purchase from a five-star company!
