I think I just did! Truly the man - there are a lot of good carvers (technique wise) here, but few with Donn's sensitivity for the stone. That boulder pic has, I think, answered a nagging question for me too - I have two slabs of very blue jade that I was sure weren't from NZ, but I didn't have any info other than they came from a very old rockhound's collection. They are very similar in hue and composition to that stone - I'll grab some pics soon when I can locate them... More STONE PORN! How about some pics of your pod piece?
