Transvaal Jade Sphere, 14.5cm (Roughly the size of a large tea cup saucer)

A large polished Transvaal jade sphere, 14.5cm across — roughly the size of a large tea cup saucer. Pale mint-green stone is laced with irregular dark green to black banding and veining, with fine black speckling scattered through the lighter areas and a handful of faint reddish-brown hints in the matrix. Polished to a mirror-smooth finish that reflects its surroundings across the whole curve.

Transvaal jade is a South African green serpentine, traditionally kept for calm, steadiness and protection. At this size it reads as a display piece rather than a hand stone.

Natural stone: banding, veining and colour depth differ from piece to piece, so no two spheres match exactly.
