      Unsure if a jade version was even made in young but this does not look like my Emerald, seems much darker and not just due to lighting issues, is it from a layer of dust or could it be a jade?

        It seems jade to me, with, of course, a generous layer of dust.

        Read my books! Volume 1 and 2 of A Dragon Medley are available now.

          It’s hard to say, the pictures aren’t very good. It could also be the black cloth reflecting on the dragon and making it appear darker.

          Maybe ask for pictures in natural light and on a white/light background?

            I’m pretty sure that is a regular emerald. Could be darker than normal, but not a true jade. I can see several areas of the lighter “emerald” color (chest, wings, face, legs….)

              I think it is jade, but I am not sure…do you see the way the gold color is right on top of -what appears to be- dark green on his chest? That was typical of the Jades). The true Emeralds had the gold color touching the lighter green

                I am looking at the third picture. Can you see how on the dragon’s sides it goes from light to dark, and on the wings it goes from light to dark? On a true jade, it will be solid dark, no lighter green anywhere. Emeralds have three colors, jades have two, so when I am trying to see if something is jade or not, I look for the third color (light green).
