A gorgeous Ahoaho (Hectors)Dolphin swimming, handcrafted from a wonderful rich dark piece of Black Jade from Cowell in Australia. This is a stunning intricate carving of one of our greatest national treasures and one that we continue to fight to save from the endangered list.
Hector's dolphin, Cephalorhynchus hectori
- a rare patterned black, pale grey and white dolphin with a small rounded fin. Distinguished from the common dolphin by its shorter beak.
Black Jade
– Australian Black Jade hails from Cowell on South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula. Coveted globally for its high quality, Australian Black Jade combines beautiful midnight blacks, with a medium to fine grain, allowing the gem to achieve a very high polish, and is sought after by serious carvers. It is still part of the greenstone family, so it will still shine green under bright light .
