I just can't stand that everyone went out this weekend and I stayed at home taking pictures of my not jade rocks so I'm off to Finney and Deer creek to hunt for the elussive white jade. I wish I had stuck with agates, (the gateway stone) at least I'd know what I had!

Hi All,
Does anybody here have any experience Jade hunting in Washington? Jadeite is available in Eagle Creek, Snohomish County. Nephrite, Serpentine with 6+ hardness, Grossular Garnet, and not sure if Jadeite is in Deer Creek, OSO, Washington. Skagit County has multiple Jadeite sites. Anybody here have experience with the sites, and pictures of different mineral rocks from them? Its pretty tough unless you know what you are looking for, so pictures of river rocks, their identifications, and finished product especially gemmy finished product will be awesome. Thanks, Aaron |
