Botryoidal Jade Masterpiece with Rotating Base
On one of our helicopter adventures, I plucked this beauty right out of a vein on a mountaintop in Mendocino County California. I then spent many hours meticulously removing the attached serpentine matrix so as to expose the exquisite jade floater nugget within. A floater Botryoidal Jade nugget is one that has no attachment to the jade body of the deposit and is extremely rare. I used lots of diamond powder in my proprietary blend of diamond polishes and polished it. I began with my 100 grit diamond polish and after many steps finished with my 50,000 diamond polish. This masterpiece does not have a bad side. It was impossible to decide how to create a base to show the best side as they are all the best sides! I decided to have the famous diaza (base) maker Jerry Braswell create a base that can display every angle of this beauty so it rotates 360 degrees and finishes off this superior display of a true Mendocino California Botryoidal Jade Masterpiece. Size of Jade stone is approx. 4x4x3
