Price of Jade Question...

Jeez, I have no idea. The people on this NG who make beads are all
glassworkers, not mineral carvers.......This might not be the best place to
ask. Anyone? (Welcome to RCB, RedRider!)

Hello All,
I am sort of new to Bead Making. I am trying to make some beads from
jade (that stuff is hard to cut!)I found someone who sells raw jade on
line at http://www.ArtistsWorksOnline.com under the raw jade tab on
their navigatin bar. Does somebody here know if the prices they are
charging are fair (It seems like a lot of $$$ to me, but they say its
good stuff but I dont know anyone who would know). I'm interested in
one of their small sizes of jade block. They call it "Polar Jade", and
of course, say its the best neprite in the world, like everybody else
does im sure. But I've never heard of it before. Don't laugh. Like I
said, I'm just starting out. It looks like a good jade, because they
list their jewelry and carvings on the site, and they look pretty
good, and they say they use the same raw jade for those.

Thanks a million,
