NOT favorites from my collection, but I really like these modern reproductions in terms of learning how to avoid buying them. Poor quality of nephrite and carvings. Merry Christmas!

what do we need to know to avoid the traps
Merry Christmas, I hope to learn more about jade!
We can discuss for days epson233 on how to avoid the traps that I know, but I definitely have a lot more to learn as well. For starters, studying and understanding the evolution of Chinese Jade Culture, from reliable sources of course, since 4000 to 6000 years ago will be critical. Some may hate me for promoting my blog http://chinesejadeguyu.wordpress.com/ but that's where I pen most of my thoughts and observations along the way.
stunning :)
thank you for the blog site

Haha you are awesome Stillwater! Good luck to the sucker who buys his story.
Took a quick look at papa's list of eBay items, even his fake scepter is up for sale at a ridiculous price. All his Show & Tell(s) are meant to indirectly promote his "collection" while acting blur as though he has no idea what they are. Everyone should be wary of a businessman like papa!
