Jade Nephrite Mineral Specimen — Polished Freeform Boulder, 50 lbs
A substantial polished freeform jade specimen — likely nephrite — presenting a dramatic interplay of color across a single naturally shaped boulder: deep teal and blue-green translucent windows, warm golden-amber matrix, rich chocolate-brown dendritic inclusions, and cream-white transition zones that shift with the light. The high-gloss waxy polish is characteristic of nephrite jade, and the color palette — teal interior, amber-oxidized skin, dark dendritic patterning — is consistent with what collectors recognize as Wyoming-type or Bull Canyon nephrite, among the most sought-after natural jade in North America. The piece stands confidently on its own and retains a band of natural unpolished cortex along the base, offering a direct visual contrast between raw matrix and polished face.
CONDITION
Very Good. Polished surfaces are even and lustrous with no notable scratching or surface pitting. The unpolished cortex zone at the base shows natural surface roughness and minor white mineral deposits inherent to the matrix — these are characteristics of the material, not damage.
