AUSSIE NEPHRITE JADE SLAB 04
Aussie Nephrite Jade Slab 04 ready for a crafts person to carve or make jewellery with. This is genuine true nephrite jade from Cowell, South Australia (where the best Black Jade in the world comes from). This variant of jade is becoming more scarce and is used, in particular, for carving into super-lustrous pendants and jewellery. One of the toughest rocks on the planet. The Black colour is from an inclusion of Iron of up to 8%.
Some pics are with wet and dry stone to show the quality of colour and reflection. You can see the green from a strong jade torch. This stone is best polished with aluminium oxide then diamond to get the mirror finish.

This Fossilised Wood has been cut and polished on both sides to highlight the stunning colour and patterns. It will make a great display piece for the home. Petrified wood is extremely hard and dense, hence the weight. It is always surprising to pick these up and see how heavy they are. Now you can add to your existing petrified wood or fossils collection with this great Aussie piece. An ancient treasure.

CHRYSOPRASE SLAB LEMON
Beautiful Chrysoprase Slab Lemon Aussie stone. An amazing colour for a stone of light Lemon shades. Usually reserved for jewellers, quality specimens like this are hard to come by and attract high prices. The slab is good thickness and looks great. A great Aussie Gemstone. This is a good specimen for collection, but I think it will be made into jewellery. This material is called Lemon Chrysoprase and seldom seen available to buy. The slab has been tumble polished.
This material was fossicked many years ago.

BLACK JADE NEPHRITE SLAB THIN
Good Black Jade Nephrite Slab Thin. Polishes to a very high luster, which is perfect for creating stunning quality Black Jade mirror finish jewellery and pendants. It was an exercise to see how thin a saw could cut the Jade. 2mm down to next to nothing in thickness 0.8mm. This material will polish to a stunning black luster. Nephrite Jade is the toughest of all naturally occurring materials. Nephrite Jade has been used from ancient times as jewellery, tools and weapons. This particular Slab is Top grade and the blackest of black jade – basically the best you can get. I believe it was mined in the 1970’s from Cowell.
