free-form Polar Jade, Vancouver

sea-foamed waves or manta ray?

One of many fine specimens in the UBC Geology Dept.'s Pacific Museum of the Earth, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada (museum is geotagged)

 

Polished free-form masterpiece from the Polar Mine, near Dease Lake, British Columbia, Canada. Polar Jade is liquid dark green with bright green flecks which yields _very_ attractive jade carvings_
