Re: pretty rock
Cool sounds like a lot of work. I have a bunch of small stuff I picked up at navarro river that I an going to tumble some day. I need to get down to Jade cove one of these days I would like to get a few pieces I can cut up to make some jewlery.

Re: pretty rock
Looks like serpentine, are you sure it's jade?

Re: pretty rock
Just because it doesn't scratch doesn't mean it's jade, to me it looks like serpentine. Just my 2.5 cents.

Re: pretty rock
it isn't the only reason, but a scratch test would certainly rule out serpentine since it is much softer than jade.
