Description

The jade in this collection covers those which have never been buried underground, as well as excavated finds. Excavated jades retain their original palettes, and examples are found in the collections of international museums and institutions involved with archaeological excavations. In contrast, jades that have never been buried have gone through time suffering the effects of handling, dying, and exposure to air. These two aforenamed varieties have different qualities, and preference is a matter of a collector's individual taste.

Originally published in 2011, this new edition includes the collector's most recent acquisitions.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
