This jade is perfect, very hard with a perfect easy polish. 41 mm long, 6 mm hole

Beautiful. The color and pattern reminds me of Horse Canyon Plume and Moss. I forget do you have an ultrasonic drill for the holes?

Yes which is nice as it cuts way down on chipping in a brittle stone such as this one.

First time I've heard of an ultrasonic drill, already looked it up at Highland Park Lapidary. I'm jealous, I won't be getting one anytime soon.

That ultrasonic will not make holes like this, I use a Imahashi and have for 30 years.

Although not nearly as perfect as you pendant, this jade makes up for it in size. https://www.heraldnet.com/life/rockhounds-unearth-a-righteous-gemstone-near-darrington/

Oh yeah - not a hint of inconsistency in that reflection from your polish. You turned that into a great pendant.

Wonderful polish, colors.

You need to let me know when you finally get your website up and running now that your wife is retired.
