No Chinese scholar would ever leave home without his precious jade fondling stone. This fine example, crafted from an entire pebble of Khotan "river jade" nephrite, features russet underskin covering one entire side and a light celadon tone on the other. The russet rivulet is supposed to remind us that even our friends are not perfect, but we love them anyway. Softly polished in the old way and the perfect size to carry or display, or even for your keychain.
