    Beth, according  to "The Guide", a 10 x 14 mm #2 color jadeite (
    Imperial Jade)  would wholesale for $25,000 a stone.  This is for an
    untreated stone.  The fact that this high price is quoted would say
    that the stones are not available.  Again, quoting The Guide, "Extra
    fine green jade ("imperial Jade")  often smaller than one carat ,
    prices are highly negotiable."  If you find a source of "Imperial
    Jade" for much less, I would be very cautious of what you are
    buying.
