Description: Introducing a Chinese nephrite jade pendant devil face from the Mida Jade Mine in Qiemo County, Western China. Impeccable milky white high end Mida jade. Weight 26g Dimensions: 7 x 30 x 50mm Mida nephrite jades represent a recent addition to the mainstream market of nephrite jades mined in Western China. Nestled in the remote reaches of Qiemo County, the Mida Jade Mine yields stones distinct from those found in Qiemo, often referred to as Sugar or Candy jades. Contrary to popular belief, Mida jade is not a newfound sensation in the realm of Xinjiang nephrite jades. Originating from Qiemo County, Xinjiang, Mida jade boasts a rich historical background. However, due to past circumstances, it has remained relatively unknown in the mainstream market. Qiemo County is renowned for its high-quality mountain-sourced jades, often overshadowing the attention towards Mida jade, which was frequently mistaken for and traded as counterfeit nephrite. The hallmark of Mida jade lies in its remarkably pure and thick white color, as evidenced in the accompanying images. Distinguished from the sugary white hues of Qiemo jade, Mida materials tend towards cyan-white and high-white tones, reminiscent of the creamy purity depicted in a candy advertisement. High-grade Mida jade boasts a delicate texture with clean-cut surfaces, devoid of any grainy appearance when illuminated. Characterized by its lustrous oiliness and substantial feel, top-quality Mida material exudes the glossy allure typical of mutton-fat white jade. Recent scrutiny by gemologists from the China University of Geosciences, Institute of Gemology, confirmed Mida jades as authentic nephrite specimens. The density of Mida jade typically falls around the lower end of the range of 2.90-3.0 g/cm³, with a refractive index around 1.606-1.608. The infrared spectrum perfectly matches the standard spectrum of nephrite jade. Mida jade usually exhibits a density value around 2.90, which is the lower end of well known nephrite jade. Some Mida jade yields a density value slightly under 2.90. The density of this pendant, determined through hydrostatic methods, registers at 2.90 or 2630/907, falling within the accepted range for authentic nephrite jade. Serious inquiries only.
