Vonson Blue nephrite "Heart in Heart" pendant #1
175,00$
This unique pendant is made from the extremely rare Vonson Blue nephrite from the Sonoma coast of California. I have some of this material right now from trade. It is a beautiful creamy light blue jade that is opaque in nature but has incredible blue color. Being opaque, the color blue is always shown in either low or bright light. It will not glow like many other nephrite jades in bright light but not needed in this case. Anything made from this rare material is considered a collectors item. This pendant is shaped as a abstract heart inside of a heart.
Cording:
If you want a cord with this, it is recomended to see the cording option in the beads or pendants page. Choose either a cord with black jade toggle or matching jade toggle. I will pre-set the lenght for you.

Material History
Vonson Blue Nephrite Jade History:
Vonson Blue nephrite is an extremely rare blue jade that was discovered in the 1950's by a California State Biologists named Vonson. He actually found the jade deposit on his ranch in Petaluma. I recently conversed with Vonson's granddaughter and she stated that the ranch was sold with a condition that the jade could not be mined. Others simply say the source is depleted. Either way, looks like this beautiful material is very limited.
About
Proud to say one of my specialties at Jadedivers.com is making one of kind custom beads found almost no where in the world. Most of my beads are going to have cone tapered ends that are deburred and polished. My photos are taken to show the natural colors without photo enhancements. I believe this will best represent the colors and promote repeat customers.
Branching into Pi/Bi Discs and Bangles, I provide the quality of the best offered. None of my designs are mass produced and material selection is always individually chosen even in the smalles beads. My Discs are unique in that they are mostly done by hand and not be "donut" cutting machines.
** Note: Many items stated to be "Jade" on Etsy and Ebay are not. In many cases, price does not indicate this either so buying an expensive item may be a jade replica like glass. There are many other stones including agate, grossular garnet, serpentine (many forms), aventurine... being sold as jade. To make it worse and more complicated, many jadeite stones are being reconditioned and died to be very attractive so they pass general tests to be real. If you see very clear bangles, odds are they are agate, glass or something else. If you see very bright colors of red, yellow, purple... most likely not real. I say this as many buyers are being fooled on-line by these practices.
