Finally have all of our Wyoming Jade (Nepherite) moved from the horse pasture where it's been stored for 40 some years and into town. Now to get all of the equipment setup for cutting and polishing.

Was at a stone carvers' farm a few days ago. Great experience.
Got more close up pics of your rocks?
I saw the photos of your visit to the stone carvers. I'm sorry to hear of the lossy of our dad. I lost lost mine last year.
I will be in the process of taking photos of the raw material in the near future. Also will be digging out cut slabs and polished material, it's all under a ton of crap in the back of the garage. Nepherite is between 7-8 on the mohs scale, much harder then oriental jade and diamond tools work best for cutting and grinding.
That's quite a large pile!

Probably 20 tons or more! 😂 We were busy in our youth!
Would love to see an example polished!!
I'll be digging them out soon. I'll definitely post notes with photos.
