It really is quite unbelievable how little value the stone has over there. Benz, that piece of black jade I sent you is from there (bought stuff, much better than what they dump, but still a couple of grades below the AAA), and the pierced hook I posted a couple of months ago is carved from the green stuff I collected there (landfill). Because I'm from South Australia I love using it (besides the fact the quality/strength is superb), but there are a lot of NZ carvers who won't touch imported stone.
