Okay, pulled two more pieces of Big Sur jade from 36 grit. The other stuff STILL needs to be ground down as it is really tough stuff. I thought these piece would take a pounding and turn to dust. They held up pretty well. (coated with oil to bring out the colors)

watching with interest. Cool subtle coloring- I didn't know Jade could be like that!

Big Sur jade can be gray and lack luster, cool and subtle or wild....like the chromium stuff.
