NOW IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY BURMESE JADE. FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED REASONS THE PRICE ON QUALITY JADE FROM BURMA HAS DROPPED AND MOST SELLERS OF JADE JEWELRY HAVE LOWERED THEIR PRICES ACCORDINGLY. JUST THIS PAST WEEKEND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT A NUMBER OF OUTLETS IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA AND WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED AT THE QUALITY AND PRICE OF MANY JADE ITEMS.
