11.24.24-In my opinion regarding LOT: 2217-the horse group is overall intact, I observe some natural fissures and inclusions to stone, there are some possible stable hairlines to base at center, see images, I further note some minute chipping along edges of base, there is a small chip at the right rear edge underfoot and at front right edge, also underfoot, horse manes and tails are intact with some lines and roughness/possible typical chipping to tips and edges, I am not an expert on such pieces so please let me know should you have further questions, we have listed the group as hardstone, a certified Gemologist tested the base and said that it tested as jadeite but only in one spot, we are unsure so have listed as hardstone
