A striking piece of excellent colour and translucency, this gorgeous hook is carved from a cobble that our carver has had stashed away for many long years - the provenance of which was either the Marsden region or the Arahura River. As AA-grade jade, the piece shows a strong colour consistency, minimal flaws, and an excellent translucency for so richly coloured a stone. The tone is a mid-dark green with frosty pale flower-patterns down the spine - the remnants of a hard, pale-hued rind that originally covered most of the stone.
 
Measuring in at 81mm long and 54mm wide, this piece is definitely suited to the lover of the large, and to those looking for a significant statement-piece. Sculpted to a subtle curvature down the body of the stone, it nestles comfortably in the hollow of the chest; and its thickness and size make it a robust piece that can survive everyday wear, yet stand out and absolutely stun when worn with formal or fancy wear.
