Colour and Clarity: According to the Jadeite Jade Test Certificate, the jadeite 'Buddha' is natural, type A jadeite jade. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the icy jadeite is highly translucent to almost semi-transparent, of very light celadon tone with pleasant glow under normal lighting. Upon illumination, there are some natural clouds, not seen in normal lighting. Diamonds in the surmount are about H to I colours, VS clarity.
Condition: Nice craftsmanship, the Buddha has good proportion and delightful face, overall in very good condition.
