Hello everyone, I picked up this necklace secondhand. It’s a Phoenix in black jade I think. It’s very heavy (for me) so I’ve got to get used to wearing it

Some pieces I got delivered today from gojade. I have a soft spot for buddhas since it brings back childhood nostalgia (and cause I was always considered a buddha lookalike with the chubby cheeks and bald head back then) 
Does it say it is serpentine? I must confess I’m having some problems translating the card
Yep, it says it's Serpentine Jade specifically, most Chinese certs will say it's 翡翠货A (which literally translates to Jadeite Cargo/Goods A) meaning it's untreated jadeite instead of 蛇纹石玉 meaning "Serpentine Jade". I also do hope you didn't pay too much for it as wellDoes it say it is serpentine? I must confess I’m having some problems translating the card
Oh no, it is actually from a job lot of jewellery so it was inexpensive. I did want an all black necklace so it is still a great find in serpentine.Yep, it says it's Serpentine Jade specifically, most Chinese certs will say it's 翡翠货A (which literally translates to Jadeite Cargo/Goods A) meaning it's untreated jadeite instead of 蛇纹石玉 meaning "Serpentine Jade".

This might be a silly question but what do you do with the loose stones? Do you put them on display or are you going to have them made into jewellery?
I’ll be putting them on display inside some orange prescription bottles cause it’s portable, funny (for all the wrong reasons
), and I don’t have any other bottles to put them in without the fear of it being lost and/or hitting onto other heavier pieces.
