Welcome to TC Jocamber, Glad to have you on board. You might find some answers to your ?'s HERE in Tama's Stone thread. As far as availability, good jade is getting hard to come by and I'd start with Trade Me or eBay, there's Lots of jade there. As for the softest to start with, Jade is harder than steel so any is good to start. Of course Bone is easier for sure and is redily available anywhere. Here in the US good, clean and cured cow bone is to be had at many pet shops for a couple bucks per 4 inch chunk.
Good luck!
