Nephrite Jade is most commonly used in jewelry and is usually not much interest to mineral collectors. Rarely, smooth rounded masses such as this are found. Known as botryoidal Jade, they make rare and unusual mineral specimens. This one is smooth and complete all around with good waxy luster, no contacts or damage.
