Description
Transvaal Jade – Flat Palm-Sized Slab (South Africa)
This flat, palm-sized Transvaal jade specimen displays a soft, pale green base colour with fine, naturally occurring dark speckling distributed across the surface. The stone has a compact, fine-grained structure, typical of jade-rich metamorphic material from the Transvaal region.
The piece is naturally broken and largely flat, making the colour and internal patterning easy to see. Subtle tonal variation and scattered mineral inclusions add visual interest while confirming the stone’s natural origin. The surface is unpolished, with a smooth, dense feel along the broken faces.
Transvaal jade is valued for its toughness, stable structure, and attractive colouring, and is commonly used for carving, lapidary work, and as a reference or display stone.
