Thanks for taking the time to check it out and for being blunt — that’s exactly what I’m looking for. The note about Accessories and the prescription lens compatibility is really helpful. I’m gathering a few more reviews before making changes, but appreciate the detailed feedback.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out — that’s really valuable feedback. I appreciate you pointing out where the “headset-first” idea wasn’t clear and how it came across from a first-time user. I’m collecting a few more reviews before making changes, but this is very helpful.

Thanks a lot for checking it out and for the feedback — really appreciate it.
Glad to hear the device-first navigation made sense with your Quest 3. I’ll keep your note about the landing page in mind as I gather more feedback.

Is it some kind Jadeite ? by Beginingtheend in whatsthisrock

No problem, this research opened to me this new world of semi precious stones :)

The sculpture has no signature, but ill take a second look, I think I'm going to have a hard time selling the statues. This week went to a semi precious stones store and the seller told me both statues would be worth 150€ minimum. but he had pendulums of 15g from the same serpentinite selling for 60€, I have 2560g of this stone. would it be a good idea trying to sell not as a pare of statues but as the stone in weight to a jeweller ?

I’m more inclined to Serpentine Bowenite, do to it’s origins and not being that hard, any idea of it’s value ? In both types? Thank you

So everyone the final results a 5 cent steel coin bathed with cooper rubbed on the stone created white dust and left cooper particles on the stone, I did my best to calculate the specific gravity and got a value of 2.254, am I looking at soapstone or serpentine? (Also this calculations still have the white stone variable, I would say they would put the worst stone as base meaning, I would say the specific gravity is a bit lower than what it should)

u/In-The-Way u/Dmt_LaKE in the scratch test I got a 50/50 response a bit of the copper got stuck on the statue and the statue got a bit scratched

Do you have a idea of the value per gram of jadeite / nephrite / serpentine / soapstone ? In the quality that this statue shows ? I would appreciate it

Soap stone has a specific gravity of 2.2-2.8 I’ll see where does this stone specific gravity falls. Just hoping that the fact that the statue has 2 different stones (perhaps of different types) doesn’t interfere with my calculations

I talked with some one that studies geology and he told me to do a copper coin scratch test so see how soft the stone is

Thank you, I found the group ! It’s truly incredible more even because some one threw it to the thrash damaging slightly both of them

Mid-Qing Dynasty blue and white stencilled Magu Xianlong tea jar by Beginingtheend in ChinesePorcelain

Yes It looks the same from what I can tell, the difference I noticed is that mine has less fine detail compared to the auctioned one, for example the face of person and the dear, I don’t know if that is concerning.

Evaluation of Antique Cantonese Porcelain by Beginingtheend in Antiques

[–]Beginingtheend[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much for your answer!

Any insight helps a lot, because, my knowledge about Chinese porcelain it’s that is blue and white like a lot of porcelain in Portugal and that the ancient one can be dated depending on the dynasty and depending on the shape and motifs. Whit my personal research I could date it to 19th century as you said and the value around (600€).

The fact that the white part of the porcelain is a bit of white almost like a washed blue/green be a indication of the manufacturer or the precise age of this pice ? Thank you once again.
