Turkish opalite from stonesthatrock, citrine chrysoprase, ice cream opalite nephrite, variscite from stonesthatrock, royal imperial The nephrite was polished with 100,000 diamond paste, which still left a peel finish. It would look better backlit, instead of scanned.

Love the Imperial. I have that peeling problem with jade and diamond too. Dang diamond just seems to rip the fibers right out of many types of jade. Still makes a real pretty stone though....Mel

They are all beautiful and I do have a soft spot for Imperial but the Turkish Opalite is so intriguing. I could look at it and never get bored.
