Description: Big Sur Jade Vulcan Nephrite Boulder From Monterey California. Nephrite Jade stone ocean polished by continuous wave action. The terrace at Jade Cove has slowly lifted up out of the Pacific Ocean over about 10 million years. As the ocean floor expands, a large nephrite deposit has traveled along with this mountain building activity. This ancient sea terrace is loaded with iron rich soil. Nephrite is the toughest stone (not the hardest) in the world. It is porous though and the iron will absorb and stain the Jade brown, red, yellow and orange. Some of the iron stained jade falls out of the cliff and back into the great ocean tumbler. Wave action smooths out the rough edges over thousands of years. Some small botryoidal features. Excellent centerpiece for any serious Jade collection. Jade weighs 6250 grams or 13 pounds 12.5 ounces. Measures 9.5 X 6 X 5 inches.
