    Just the facts ma'am...... just the jade facts.
    I live in Washington and have just started poking around for jade. Fortunately I live within walking distance of one river that is noted for jade and a short drive from another. Now I've got to buy myself a lapidary saw. I think this could be habit forming.

      yes, rockhounding is a great way to get outdoors. i joke that it is for people with depression, because all you'll do is walk around slouched over starring at your feet all day.

    Personally jade is BEAUTIFUL if I can carve it, the lowest grade jade or the highest dosent matter to me. I want a jade tiger statue in front of my door. It’s a super pretty stone so all of it will be used

    Theres a higher grade than A or A+. Its called "super". Have a nice day jade expert.

    • @RubbleRockAndGem
      @RubbleRockAndGem  8 месяцев назад +7

      Right, and beyond that is "super duper"?

  • @johnnynephrite6147
    @johnnynephrite6147 8 месяцев назад

    3:30 you just blew up your own theory of grading ABC when you stated "theres various ways we grade the jade, one is based on structure...". Make up your mind dude. Have a nice day jade expert.

    • @RubbleRockAndGem
      @RubbleRockAndGem  8 месяцев назад +3

      Because there are multiple factors that go into assessing it. My mind is very made up... As you can see by the specific bin that each jade piece has been designated into.

    • @johnnynephrite6147
      @johnnynephrite6147 8 месяцев назад

      @@RubbleRockAndGem your first statement on the ABC classification was about structure not color, inclusions, or transparency. Again, MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
