AUSSIE NEPHRITE JADE ROCK 31
AUSSIE NEPHRITE JADE ROCK 31
A piece of Aussie Nephrite Jade Rock 31. Great for the lapidarist or carver after relatively rare Australian Nephrite Jade. Most of these pieces have at least one straight edge and all are ready to start working your magic on. I have taken photos of the jade both dry and wet to give an idea of colour. It looks better in person than the pics show. All the Jade is from Cowell in South Australia. If you are after a larger rock see our Rock n Slabs section.

JADE NEPHRITE BLOCK
JADE NEPHRITE BLOCK
Stunning Jade Nephrite Block ready for slabbing or carving. Colour is dark green to black, showing slight translucency. This variant of jade is popular 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%. The stone has parallel faces which makes it easy to hold in a vice for diamond saw cutting. The slight translucency that I can see is with a strong Jade torch. This stuff is best polished with aluminium oxide then diamond to get the mirror finish.

RICH GOLD BEARING BISMUTHINITE
A stunning ore specimen of Rich Gold Bearing Bismuthinite. Hefty in weight with the two exceptional metals with exceptional properties. This Flour Gold in Bismuthinite would make a stunning specimen. This material as a specimen is not common. The precious Gold ore was missed by several geological surveys as they didn’t think Gold was found in Bismuth. It turned out to be one of the richest high grade Gold ores found in Australia.

VIVIANITE SPECIMEN
VIVIANITE SPECIMEN
A great hand sized Australian Vivianite Specimen. The piece is partially polished to show the rich deep blue hue. This is pretty rare stuff and is used more and more in jewellery. I imagine that will be the case with this piece. However many people do collect the specimens too and keep them intact. It is rare to get this particular blue in minerals and this is a popular stone among collectors, one that is not always available.
