This is a material I find in the Fraser river BC, from near Hope, up through the canyon. it's still colloquially known as "mutton fat jade" because of it's consistency. Very much like jadeite in crystallature and weight, with a hardness of 7mohs. The green jasper is there for colour correction purposes ![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/toKcNbmm7bDqfnTtSFjpkNwGm6HlHKmwkQ9GmrrRaRhGHr3_qbEU5CkPhv3k6SfxWlr3--JTRtn6Q4BjWYgQ-o3-r_lDv2_j4ord5SOqgWvo35QDWMyOk9QmIR1Doyj1hr4p_cXO7ihitiITjegMKlwSztRrgOmSempGyF56OCnYu5pDJ17_WeE-5Fi4w82Aj_2V7ep0V3SkJUI2pVlx1BXiOPdb2OZpjcUhQpc-bOk32fUvG590VHL-PUgTEwxtRbo9l4amFut6E86ZXBrNmEBHwJjZX206O5wUedg1lisYruyoc5NVfYISXQMUnm6xG5CRnyYpN7dhgsUI3u6E4zBzgOsrqhjxtasL4eH7LgC9E2EekL5Zwkf3PQUVAQmwZ91eyIDETi_iv1ZSEPRNmuyXanIKH5ATgw6FQrvGVmM2vpNVpMd2YVOBi3pdeJCY4VCSoizJ8gz7faZsDTJ0Ql0V2R91zIdJ8LuDTIULLVrw-SXgARZoM3vG1_jGY8WPnFCL_irgFRam1xyVsWkjcTP-7MLM6seVd0K7WDDPZI70MFfbxBjPS1ZkK6RjodfxutL88JygWsC50AqrEf0gwCw_34cuwIIZrcaBh1vsSok3yYzo4zJdcA=w1175-h995-no)
