The listing, $$TREASURE HUNTERS SPECIAL$$ DUG UP OLD JADE$$ has ended.
Have 7 old Jade (4 different color pieces) to add your collection of old things! I found these here in China where I live...I live in one of the oldest N.E. cities in China for the last 10 years!! Liaoyang, China in the North Eastern part of Liaoning Providence! I'm always on the hunt for old things with my metal detector and got some hits on some old Chinese coins and while I was digging....found some of these Nice different color Jade pieces with 2 holes drilled through each one of them...Would make nice pieces for a necklace or bracelet!!
From my studies, they could have been used for a few different things, that I've found out in my over 10 years here...For some kind of ornament to wear(like necklace, bracelet, or even maybe part of a Jade suit??) or they use to use these pieces to make suits for the important people when they use to bury them to protect them in the after life!! Many different Jade items were buried with the dead to protect them in the after life!! Jade holds special powers here in China! Who knows!! I welcome comments!!..See this internet site for info on the Jade suits they use to bury their dead at!!!
