A stunning Aihe (Dolphin) swimming, handcrafted from a wonderful rich dark piece of Black Jade from Cowell in Australia. This is a gorgeous intricate carving of one of our loved taonga, bright fun and cheeky dolphins love to frolic and in our ocean and the many bays around our beautiful country.

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 .
