Australian black nephrite jade is really beautiful stone to work it. It's really tough stuff and I've read a few times that due to its particular mineral structure it's one of the toughest materials in nature. I've carved this piece with a motif of scales, like a fish, lizard or perhaps a dragon. I wanted to imbue the piece with a sense of providing protection to the wearer. I've also carved a toggle black nephrite jade that comes with the piece. This piece is intended to be worn as a pendant.
