Thick specimen of translucent green Nephrite jade from the famous Jade Cove located on the California coast just south of Big Sur. Jade in this area erodes from local rock formations into the ocean and can be found on the beach (if you're lucky) or by scuba diving in the cove. Ex. Chuck Trantham collection.
