Can anyone tell me what stone this is? I initially thought it was peace jade, but the green color isn't quite right. It has a similar green and white pattern as peace jade though.
I would agree, serpentine, which often can have qualities like jade. In fact when its cut I have to change out the oil in my saw pan, because jade and serpentine foam up. The foam ruins the oil base in my saw blade pan.
I think "peace jade" is another of those made up names to make common, dyed or man made stones seem more exotic - "peace jade" sounds better than serpentine.
Oh, I would agree with you both, rositia and khmetalwork. One of my biggest peeves is when etsy shop seller's list a stone that they have miss-labeled or used a marketing name.
Even more frustrating labeling man-made stones and allowing your customer to believe its natural......or actual stone. Especially those who do not care to indicate that the stone in their listing is dyed.
