This roughly shaped/irregular ornamental ring is marked by its milky white discoloration, speckled rusty orange, red and purple spots, and matte surface. This discoloration is typical of jades from the moist climates in the southeastern coastal region of China. The condition of this work is very good and has no chips or scratches. This object DOES NOT have a display base.
