Jade and green stones from YMI?

General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

Jade and green stones from YMI?

Post by SCWillson »

I'm talking about these: http://www.ymimports.com/p-1619-jade-co ... ze-30.aspx

How do they really look and how would you describe their quality?

There was an earlier thread in this forum with my detailed reply regarding these stones: "Caring for Glass Go Stones?" which may prove informative

Thanks, I'll look for that.

Followup: I contacted YMI and they mailed me 4 sample stones from the set. The light green ones are almost "sour apple" green but not unattractive and they do make a striking deviation from the usual duochromatic stones.
