Gentlemen,

We specialize in search and extraction of a jade in East-Siberia.
For last five years we have successfully exported jade to Asia, Europe and America.
We would like to offer you blocks of high quality jade in weight from 0.5 up to 3.0 tons, in light-green,
green and dark-green colors. In thin slices appears through on depth up to 5 mm, contains black spots in reasonable amount, material is uniform in all directions, accepts mirror polishing.

Currently we have up to 50 tones of this high quality jade in stock. Wholesale price is US$4.00/kg.
Our enterprise has sufficient stocks of a jade for manufacture facing stone and other materials used for furnish of prestigious buildings, offices, dwellings, tombs etc.

We welcome pre-orders on for 2002 season.

Hardness is 6.8-7.0, it is possible to cut with no loss. We have different sizes and shapes blocks on offer which suites the given needs, the blocks are rough and have cut windows (1 or 2) to show the quality and colour. We have never done slabs of this size, but know few people who have.
 
I attached two back light photo files to show the colour. The slabs photographed are 0.5 cm thick.
Density is the same to hardness, but more technical term, and is in use by some carvers and Jewellers. "Nefrit" is Jade, exact geological definition for the material is "Jade Nephrite" (not to confused with "Jadaite").
 
Please note that 1 cubic meter weighs 2.9 tons.
 
Few natural cracks can be met in the slab of your size, they do not affect mechanical solidity and beauty of the material.
 
We have learnt that specialists from different countries have different knowledge of cutting Jade, general lapidary techniques, expertize and skills. We could provide more specific advise if knew where the request was forwarded from.
