There is a chatoyant jade mined in Neveda. The trade name is Ghost Jade. It was sold by a guy and gal (Alison) at the Blanchard Rock shop in Bingham NM.
It is kind of tricky to work as it likes to separate at the filaments when working it. I will try and get a few pics of the few pieces I have.

Exquisite, mesmerizing, intoxicating would describe the appeal to me.

It’s for sure a nice piece! I would have been tickled to find that. The ghost jade is cool too and that is the perfect name for it.

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
