Thank you. Well the Nepphrite did cut okay with a level of tranlucency… I just tested what i thought was the sister to it and it has tested as Jadeite which is being cut and has amazing transparency and fantastic colour. I have always worked with coloured gems and only recently had the opportunity to deal with some Jade which I have found extremely fascinating. I will try when the two types are finished to post some pictures of the pieces. i have some designs done and will try alos to post those when the time comes. I believe these pieces will be quite spectacular.
