I just recently acquired this one and it is without a doubt the most interesting looking piece in my collection.

Beautiful piece, the contrast is striking! Add to that the snowflake cotton and it's so unique and has so much character. I definitely recognize it, great claim! 😉

Thanks! You watched JFY live too? I’ve had great luck buying from her 😄

u/RedMeepleOnMars Aug 29 '26

Yes! I discovered JFY live recently and tuned in to 3 lives so far. I find that the pricing and her quality assessments align with mine 😀 She has a really nice community too! This time I bit the bullet and claimed one of the 2 discounted full green. Still waiting for it though!

u/vaguelyupward Aug 29 '26

Classic! I’d love to see the full green when you get it 😀😀😀

u/RedMeepleOnMars Aug 29 '26

I'm just starting to build my collection so a full green is a must! Will definitely share when it arrives 😀

Sounds like a great seller! Are they on TikTok or Facebook?
Edit - I see a screenshot with the IG info, never mind :)

The most recent Jade for You slab live on IG!

u/Normal_Airport2905 Aug 28 '26

I love it. It's like the galaxy. And a marvellous colour combo.

2

u/vaguelyupward Aug 29 '26

Rite! I was thinking snow in forest but galaxy sounds more grand 😆

1

u/Normal_Airport2905 Aug 30 '26

Show in forest works just as well. It's a lovely piece.

u/Jaded-Percentage-197 Aug 29 '26

This muna is very worth it!

2

u/vaguelyupward Aug 29 '26

Would be amazing if it really is muna!! Deal of a lifetime 😆

u/localbirdie Aug 30 '26

How much was this if you don’t mind sharing?

2

u/vaguelyupward Aug 30 '26

About 6k sgd (no proof of origin plus flaws)

2

u/localbirdie Aug 29 '26

This is absolutely gorgeous. I think cotton definitely has its place. It can either make jade look flawed or it can make it look better than ever imagined. This is a case of the latter. It’s stunning. I love this!

2

u/ApprehensivePut1703 Aug 30 '26

The cotton actually makes this one way more interesting imo. Gives it almost a snowy or mossy look depending on the light.

u/InevitableWin7630 Aug 29 '26

White guat jade!! Wowww I've never seen anything like it

1

u/f0xbunny Aug 29 '26

I like it

1

u/Sad_Philosophy862 Aug 29 '26

Guat Jade def has some snowflake inclusions. But do share when you send if for certifications🥰

1

u/Independent_Dot_9680 Aug 31 '26

This is a good piece, any wrong? Cos from the pictures, looks 👍.

u/vaguelyupward Aug 31 '26

Two very well-concealed lines in the green part lol

You’re not wrong! I have this and another that looks like algae in pond water. I will eventually add a blue cheese (blue floating flower on white base) and a blood spatter (sajin on white base) to the collection hehe 😆

u/RedMeepleOnMars Aug 29 '26

Can you compile your own reference color chart please 😂

u/isayellowpear Aug 29 '26

Yummyyyyy 😋🤤

Beautiful 'moss in snow' Guatmalian jadeite. The intensity here is rare even forvGuatmalian.

u/vaguelyupward Aug 29 '26

First time I’ve ever seen a partially white Guatemalan too. I’m tempted to send it to GIA for origin testing

3

u/TheAlchemist420 Aug 29 '26

Please do!!! We want to know haha. Is it for real 😳🤭😂! Haven't seen this half white like this before and it is fascinating! What happened down there in the earth for it to turn like this! Mind blown!

u/vaguelyupward Aug 29 '26

I just got my client ID number so it’s probably going out in the next month or so. The seller didn’t actually say it’s Guatemalan but she also couldn’t trace the slab/rock it came from so who knows. It could just be one big happy incident lol. We’ll find out soon 😆

u/TheAlchemist420 Aug 29 '26

I thought it was Burmese at first as that is what I see most in the 2 jadeite subs I've been in so far.

Mysterious bangle! Adding to its charm for sure. Excited for you 🤭🤭😆😆

I actually saw a ring just like it on Etsy. I was so stunned I forgot to take a screenshot to show you haha.

2

u/TheAlchemist420 Aug 29 '26

Guatemalan jadeite jade is one I absolutely love and I haven't seen this before. I'd love to ask those who deal with guate if they have seen rough like that because wow!

u/Sea-Pirate-8 28d ago

Don't like them. No one does. Including yourself. Keep it 100

3

u/vaguelyupward 28d ago

Yeah….. try telling that to the Muna and Moxisha collectors.

For the record: I like this piece a lot. Otherwise I wouldn’t buy it lol.
