Q:Why did the rubbing-stick go into the cafe?
A:For a smoothie... :D (groan.)

Just a quickie to show the similarity between jade of various origin:
One of todays jobs was to rebind a piece for a friend. He found this piece of stone almost 30years ago and had it carved (carver unknown), but it has been sitting in a drawer for several years. Beautiful olive-green 'Inanga':

My problem was in finding a piece of matching stone for the toggle, but ultimately it was a piece of Wyoming jade that saved the day..


Not exact but pretty good. Were only talking about a toggle after all.

(he'll never know - shhhh..) :wink:
