The pekapeka's looking great KShaman - having fun? Nice looking stone, lovely colour. Sorry if youve said already, but what/where is it from?

I bought it as an offcut from a jadey up this way - an offcut from a mere he had made. I dont know its origin, I asked him if he could sell me a nice piece of the green stuff, and that is what he gave me.

I must admit, although it is hard to cut and drill - man it weaves a magic on you. I feel it is part of my soul! I desperately want to make a piece for myself - but that is not my aim here lol. This pekapeka is destined for yet another friend.

I have a mania form I am playing with, which I may end up making for myself, but I need a few more skills first. It is only in the designing stages lol.

Sorry I have no more information about the stone - it is a lovely clean green - and you can see it on the previous page I think, when I posted my purchases the day I got them.

Cheers - and thanks for your feedback Tama

Thanks also Benz for your encouragement.
