Lot 20
Minerals: A large green nephrite freeform 82cm wide 68kg Tools and amulets made of Nephrite date back to Early Neolithic times. For centuries, jadeite and nephrite were considered the same and were not identified as different until 1863 with a difference in colour and a small variation on the Mohs hardness scale. Nephrite can be found in a translucent white to very light yellow form which is known in China as mutton fat jade, in an opaque white to very light brown or grey which is known as chicken bone jade, as well as in a variety of green colours. It was much prized in Chinese culture and used for utilitarian and ceremonial items. It was revered in other cultures including the Maoris in New Zealand, where it is called greenstone and the native North American Indians of British Columbia, both of whom used Nephrite for tools before the arrival of the Europeans and for ceremonial jewellery and carvings.
