The company I bought these from is the Polar Jade company.

The Cassiar Mountains being the kind of place they are, the white splashes in the "flower jade" beads could be some form of asbestos.

Note the granular texture in the one "flower jade" bead that has a dink.

The second picture compares the "flower jade" with good quality 15mm nephrite beads.
