Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the jadeite certificate, the jadeite 'Guan Yin' is natural, Type A jadeite. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the jadeite 'Guan Yin' is of emerald green colour with good translucency. The caseback can be opened and under strong illumination, there are natural white spot inclusions and areas of stronger saturation of colour which are not noticeable when worn. The simple carving has a serene expression.
Condition: In very good condition.
