I found this brooch last summer.
It signed nothing,but I just feel like it should be something cool lol
I love the design,and I love the price! It was just 25cent (CAD) from a church sale.
Thank you for spending time with my post!
Looks like jade

most likely 14k, look for mark, will be tiny
Thank you Dizzdave
I checked it,still there is no any mark on!!!
When I bought it,I thought it should be jade too :)
I think its gold, you can have a jeweler check for You.
Thank you,I will bring it to a pawn shop near my place :)
Agree with Dizzy - what a gorgeous brooch!!
The stones are nephrite. Two different stones (albeit very similar looking) are called jade:
1, the expensive, rarer jadeite
2, the more common, cheap nephrite

If you put 'nephrite bamboo brooch' into google, lots will come up.
By the way it is really nice brooch - I love anything with green stones!
