The Maya had a preference for brilliant apple-green jade, quite different but no less aesthetically exquisite than the blue-green jade of the earlier Olmec peoples.

Perforations drilled at lower and upper edges for attachment to clothing. 2-1/4" (5.75 cm) H x 1-1/2" (3.75 cm) W x 3/8" (1 cm) D + custom stand.
