Has anyone ever heard of a dendritic grey Jade (looks to be jade).
I got it in an estate and have never heard of it.  I don't have a picture shot
yet, but as soon as I do, I'll post it.

The note on the slab says "rare".

Thanks,

Deb  saved7

Hi, Many of the jades from certain streams in Washington are full of dendrites. these jades do not sell well so they are not commanding any great price , a few dollars a lb. if they are not translucent. If you would like to see them you can go to ebay , search for" washington jade " and click on any of poobas auctions and go to his completed listings to see various dendritic jades. His listings are about 90% of that category so they are easy to find.
