Description: Big Sur Jade Vulcan Nephrite From Monterey California #115. This specimen has been iron stained and ocean polished by continuous wave action. Most of the Vulcan stain had polished off. There is a slight stain remaining in the nooks and crannies. A must for any serious Jade collection. 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 many years. Jade weighs 74.4 grams or 2.6 ounces. Measures 75 X 55 X 13 mm.
