A recent purchase from a local Big Sur jade collector and hunter. This piece will be ground down to get the rind off and to hopefully, expose more BLUE.

Beautiful! If you don't mind sharing, about what does a nice blue piece like that cost?

Thanks everyone! "Panamark":Super high end $250 as-is. But, I got it a really low cost because the seller didn't know the extent of the rind. It's possible if you get to know some of the "Big Sur Jade Folks", you might find a decent bargain. Unfortunately, i'm a junior/novice jade hunter. The person that sold it to me is at a "grand master" level. Pat that avatar is a jade piece I actually found and had it made into a "Shark's" fin (play-off "choke" again...oh well) by one of your "locals" in San Jose. This particular piece is only going to be polished on one side. I really like the natural look of this particular side.
