hello creatives a bit about the material and the crafting known to the moari people of New Zealand as pounamu or green stone it is prized as a tunga or treasure I carve it using diamond dramal bits under running water we know it as nephrite jade one piece can take three days to make the polishing is the tricky bit I will add more later

My Gosh Vini, Those are wonderful!!! Does the stone have a cold feel to it?, or soft and warm? I don't have a lot of knowledge of stone, but I do love the touch and feel of the different textures of stone and crystals too and the energy.

Do you have other pieces that you have created?

You know, you just might be on to a new path and what a wonderful path to use a gift you have to create beauty.

Your light is bright.....energy
