PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Beautiful Polished Classic Larger Butter Jade African Elephant Carving
African Butter Jade from Bronkhorstspruit, South Africa, is known for its creamy yellow to light green hues, often with subtle marbling or mottled patterns that resemble soft butter, hence its name. Despite its name, Butter Jade is not a true Jade but rather a type of Serpentine, prized for its smooth texture and waxy luster.
