Just finished this piece of Guatemalan Lavender jade. I like the mottled colour. I have imported jade and nephrite via a well known auction/selling site on the web. I do this as I either have to buy finished cut stone or rubbish stone from some craft beads sites in the UK, which is over priced and not really suitable carving. I have never bought any stone from China via the afore mentioned source. Has anybody bought stone from China this way? Can anyone thick of better sources of stone I can import? Here is my lavender piece which I am quite happy with except I see a few lumps on it and I could have shaped the bells a little better but I was feeling unsure how much pressure to apply for fear of brakeage. Total length 40mm.
