A spiral corkscrew not finished and a jade ring I helped my grandson make from Yukon jade.

Is that rhodonite? Looks very gemmy, almost like rhodochrosite. And the polish on the nephrite is really great!

Thanks. Yes its Imperial rhodonite from my region of Tamworth Australia. Nice fine grain deep pink. Very hard to find now. I have carved a deeper red colour in a chain Both from a deposit called Danglemah, the choice Rhodonite from this deposit is regarding as some of the best ever found.

Both are great and I agree with the quality of that rhodonite, some seriously good material!  I didn't comment when I had your potch fish open but I always love your style and carving quality!

Thanks Steve. Finished the Rhodonite spiral. I think it suits the stone.
