Flower Jade Koru Flower Jade is a very special jade usually found on jade boulders from the Marsden, New River and Waimea Creek areas in Westland. the bright yellow inclusions is caused by oxidation of the outside of the stone and the elements surrounding the boulder, and over millions of years have changed the colour of the jade to yellow. This yellowish oxidation can be up to 50mm into the boulder. When cutting the jade every slice is different and a new beauty is revealed. Flower Jade Koru was carved in 1999 and was displayed in the Hokitika Craft Gallery for about 15 days and then was sold. A recreation can be arranged in beautiful flower jade. A sculpture similar to Flower Jade Koru 80mm mounted on NZ Rimu timber can be in your private collection or on your office desk for $850 Post Free.

Master of the Sea "Master of the Sea" was carved in 1995 from jade found in the Kawaka Creek area in Westland. This stone is very amasing and a very rare specimen, as there are jade crystals imbedded throughout the stone. Master of the Sea took over 14 months to complete, was left half finished on the work bench covered in jade dust and was growing green moss, before I finally took to it with my diamond drills and finished carving it, then "Master of the Sea" was slowly hand polished until it shone ...... This Sculpture was later entered in the New Zealand National Pounamu Exhibition in 1996 and then was later sold in the Hokitika Craft Gallery in 1997..... Because of the rarity of the jade this piece is a one off ..... although a recreation can be arranged in different stone it would be alot different from the original "Master of the Sea". Standing at approx 90mm high and about 130mm, wide and for $4,950 Post Free... I will recreate this a similar sculpture for your collection.....

Tui in the Kowhai Tree 100mm Tui in the Kowhai Tree was carved in 1980 at West Coast Jade in Hokitika. It took over 40 hours to carve and hand polish this sculpture. It was on display in West Coast Jade and was later sold in January 1981. The Tui in the Kowhai Tree was one of my very first sculptures. It was carved using an old Desoutter air grinder, they were a heavy hand peice and used alot of air which blew cold air out onto your hand while carving. Being a one off sculpture, a recreation will look alot different from the 1980 Tui in the Kowhai Tree..... For $3,200 Post Free International Courier I can recreate a similar sculpture in different stone for your personal collection.
