June jade hunt

We hit the mountains in Northern California early this month for our usual jade search in Mendocino county. The extreme drought has taken it's toll on the jade supply available for discovery. Water courses are barely flowing and not much new jade has exposed for the past few years. What has been brought out are beautiful small pebbles like this one found in a few inches of water. It was still a great time and we will return but may wait for a massive winter of storms before we do.

We just finished preparing this gorgeous nugget and all I can say is WOW!I've pictured all 4 sides of this beauty. It is very solid and an almost perfect specimen. This piece is in the top 1% of all botryoidal jades ever found. A fantastic investment and a bargain at $2800. Email me sam@riverblossomjade.com
