        Does the paint on this guy look like factory painted to you? It looks to me like someone went over it with blueish paint… I’ve never seen a jade up close. Would this be jade?

          Looks almost like a hybrid, to me. Just seems to be an Emerald with a generous amount of jade on him.

            I think it looks real- looks like whoever painted this one got a little crazy with the blueish color they add to the emeralds (the ‘jade’ color).

            It also appears the photos are over saturated in color, hence the ‘too vibrant’ look to the colors.

            Edit: Looking again it almost looks like someone forgot to antique him. I just can’t tell because the photos are over saturated…

              I can’t tell either. It just looks so flat. I like the emerald color. I like the jade color. But in this quantity together, they clash. I mean my scratcher has both, but not this much jade. The jade on this one looks like it was added later.
              Maybe just bad photography.

                I’m thinking it may just be bad photography. I’ll take one of the photos into a program and see what I can do.

                  I turned the saturation down a little. Looks way more normal now! I bet this is a nice dragon, except for the big chip.

                    He looks half emerald and half jade to me and he has a nasty chip out of his bad so I think he is also overpriced.

                      BT had one like that a while back. It was like a half and half. No chip though. 😆

                        I agree with Nam, I think it’s just the camera and lighting that make him look odd.
