Jade Pendant 5

Description

Jake found this piece of Jade when he stopped at the Jade mine in north British Columbia on his way to Alaska.  Although there is a huge deposit of jade there, the mine owners tell Jake that 98% of what they mine gets sold to the Orient, so there is very little available to the public and it is becoming increasingly rare and expensive.  Jade is a very popular stone for carving figurines and other shapes, and is thought to relieve anxiety and soothe the mind.  This piece is especially pretty with dark green mixed with lighter green highlights.  The stone is set in sterling silver, with a solid silver back and sterling fancy bezel.
