Jade or Nephrite is the most sought after gemstone of all time. The Orient has traditionally been the center for all Jade activities. That is now changing. California's recent botryoidal nephrite finds are astounding the Jade, Suiseki, and Viewing stone world. These botryoidal jade finds have been described as the most important addition to the world of Jade since the discovery of Imperial Green Jade. Naturally figurative Botryoidal Nephrite nuggets, or "Jade River Blossoms", are left high and dry after the massive winter rains in the Trinity Alps in Northern California.

Our families gather and prepare these highly figurative California Jade pieces for distribution to the world.
