I haven't see any in the pieces I've carved! I've noticed what seems to be an interesting technique that the chinese have been using to get rid of unwanted inclusions in otherwise very nice jade. They use a very small drill to "drill-out" the inclusion or vaporize it with a laser! A Dremel size chain saw? I think I've seen one but I'll have to look about a bit to find the source again. If I can find it, I'll post it here.
