This is a recent purchase from an "old school" Big Sur, California jade collector/seller. It has a rich green/teal color with intricate swirl patterns (mixture of softer material and nephrite). These "dive pieces" seem to be really hard to come by now days. ![](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r705/Henry_Toyota/EP1_zpsa086b74c.jpg) ![](http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r705/Henry_Toyota/EP2_zps7b8d5e79.jpg)

Henry, that's just gorgeous. What depth. Good choice! Will you keep it as a specimen or do you have plans for it?
