Jade Fish ~ Carved

Jade Koi Fish, Lavender & Green Jade  36 - 50mm   Sold as a Set of 5

Once again.. Thank You Tucson Gem & Mineral show! I purchased these lovely Koi Jade fish a number of years ago. I created a few piece but these remain, waiting for a new home & inspiration. 

I was just in Portland and visited the Japanese Garden. A small pond, by a bamoo bridge was filled with beautiful Koi, gracefully gliding the permiter, much to the delight of every tourist there (including me). I could watch them for hours.

These Jade carvings really capture the graceful nature of these beautiful fish. Each piece has a drilled hole in the mouth as shown in the photo. The colors are subtle ranging from a lavender to soft green. The bottom of the carvings are perfectly flat.  Sold as a Set
