Description from the seller
**An Exceptional Museum-Size Natural Nephrite Jade Sphere from Pakistan**
We are proud to offer this magnificent, extra-large collector's sphere cut from 100% natural Pakistan Nephrite Jade.
This is a truly impressive statement piece, weighing an incredible **19,350 grams (19.35 kg)**. Sourced and polished in Pakistan, known for its world-class nephrite deposits, this sphere displays a rich, deep forest green color with beautiful natural feathery patterns, lighter green veins and chatoyant inclusions that are characteristic of high-quality nephrite.
Each side of the sphere reveals a different natural artwork, as seen in the photos - from deep emerald green to mossy patterns with white and brownish natural veining. The stone is expertly polished to a high-gloss, mirror-like finish that brings out its natural translucency and depth.
This is not a small decorative item; this is a major collector's piece, investment piece, and centerpiece for any serious gem collection, luxury interior, or healing crystal collection. Nephrite Jade is revered as the Stone of Protection and Good Fortune.
