There has never been any True jadeite found in china, only Nephrite, not putting Nephrite down as some of this material rivals the best Jadeite, any seller stating they have China Jadeite is a misleading statement, yes this material is poor quality Burmese Jadeite, I done an SG test on it and it is jadeite and the weight is correct, the garbage they don,t want, I had a look at the four posts, yes there is good suppliers on ebay, but yet to see any good quality Jadeite, this is because the price of the top material is huge, top quality imperial sells for $40,000 kg rough, only the mega rich China buyers have this material.
