Super exited, just heard that supplier is going to cut more slabs from the rock I got this stuff from, AND have a chance to get some more.
Black Australian Jade seems to work very well for me. Does not fracture easily, no yellow burn-marks , and in comparison to other jade polishes rather well quickly.
Only did one a year since I got that material, but now having pieces side by side its pretty obvious to me that I like working it.

Despite of obvious faults, somehow the organization gave me gold medal on this first try.

Re: Black magik, Love this material
How did I ever manage to miss your latest post, I'll never know Kurt, but that's a great line-up of all the black jade pieces you've carved, and great pics of them, too. On black it can be hard to distinguish lines and depths, but you can clearly see all the images, lines and intricacies in the pieces. Just beautiful, Kurt, and I'm glad you're getting more of that material so we can see more of them.
