Declaration regarding Fakes:

The basic problems of faking of Jades are well known by Jade Gallery!

Due to nearly 40 years of self-collecting experience of prehistoric stone artifacts in Europe, Africa und Asia it is most reliable that fakes are excluded. This refers especially to artificial aging, dying and other manipulations of stone surfaces. Because of this long collecting experience, our costumer could be quite shure not to get faked artifacts of prehistoric tools and jades.
