In our opinion, all jadeites have good translucency, four larger stones are of strong emerald green colour with minor dark green clouds under lighting; the three smaller cabochons are of medium saturation. Other icy jadeite cabochons are highly translucent, of milky tone. Diamonds are about G to H colours, VS to SI clarity.
