Does anyone have any good CA Jade specimens? if so, feedback would be nice.
Look under topic "My Collections" and look for my post Big Sur jade.
that is about all types of Nephrite Jade found in CA.

When I lived in El Centro, California in 1989. I met a guy that found light colored jade somewhere in the Choclate Mountains. He never would tell me where. His biggest one was easily over 3 pounds. I remember the pieces were almost clear (no impurities) in colors.

I was visiting my sister in law in Santa Cruz, CA recently and we went to the university arboretum there as it was a beautiful sunny day. As she and my wife pawed around in the gift shop I sat outside on this nice, smooth rock. About 4' x 2' x 2-1/2' - California green jade (and so labeled). VERY impressive piece of jade.
