Jade Lore by John Goett

“An excellent reference on Jade. This scholarly and authoritative work covers the past 30 centuries of Jade. Definition of the stone, its source, industry, colours, imitations, related stones, uses in Stone Age civilisation, religious and ceremonial use, music application, Jade mountains and imperial pieces, adornment, motives, designs, Chinese character found in literature and mythology. A comprehensive and copious source book valuable for students and collectors alike.”

Reasonable condition for its age, The pages all intact but back cover is coming away from spine. Cover is in worn condition, Pages are in good condition however. Note the first two blank pages have a piece cut along top of page. No date in book but think it was published in 1936 321 pages
