The ocean gives , sparingly
« on: February 09, 2015, 07:43:50 PM »
 Sand in massive amounts everywhere is killing collecting on the island but a set of large swells hit one point and I was there as the tide receded. Lots of cool rocks which were largely buried again by the next day. I had packlitic light with me ( lithic strings) so I had to choose carefully because she is a member of that society that is north of sixty so we have imposed strict weight limits on her backpack. This jade has a very impressive brown rind richer in color than any brown rind jade I have ever handled. It will be interesting to see what is inside.It is about a foot across.

Wow is that some reddish color in there too? I would love to go rock hunting with you and the missus:)
I actually thought about moving to Washington State just recently:)

A foot across, and it had a buddy for the walk home?  Sounds like the weight limits are not much of a limit at all!  :headbang:

Nice piece though, can't wait to see it cut.
