Jade(Nephrite)has a history of eight thousand years in China.Most people do not know that Jade is harder than stainless steel;meaning that a steel knife will not even scratch it and Jade artisans of antiquity can 'carved' so elegantly and have so masterly a control over this 'STONE from HEAVEN.' This Jade Camel is special in its superb understanding of the form and 'spirit' of the camel captured in timeless Jade. Also the size of H:14.0cm(5 1/2 ") is not common and finally the colour enhancement by nature is what Jade collectors rave about with the phrase "Carved by Man,enhanced by Nature."
