Where can I send some stones to that I believe to be jade for a professional opinion?

Paul B asked:


I found several pieces of it in Costa Rica which is not known to have any actual jade deposits.

It looks like jade, feels like jade, and is just as hard as jade.

How can I tell if I found a small piece of jade or not?

Paul B asked:


I found it while walking on a beach in Costa Rica. It looks like jade and feels smooth just like jade after I polished it up.

Its dark green with inclusions of lighter greenish flects and its size is 3/4″X1/2″X1″ and is about as hard as an Emerald.
