	Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25

Even so it came out real nice. That arrowhead jade is my fave but all are beautiful. The green and white seem to go together. Steve

It is a 7.5 on the Moh scale, but it isn't bonded together all that hard. It cuts without any trouble.
