Our stones are guaranteed to be 100% natural and untreated and only of high quality. We source stones directly from local dealers where the stones come from (the West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand, Guatamala, USA, Canada, Turkey, Siberia…) and carve them/have them carved into our favourite pieces. We do this as a hobby besides our busy lives. We are jade enthusiasts who love collecting one of a kind pieces of jade from all over the world and bringing out the best in them.
