Anything and everything is called Marsden or Flower Jade these days but this is the real stuff. This is a fabulous piece of art from New Zealand by Shane McIntosh. Toki is SM’s new diversification and his fluency and fabulous finishing shows in everything he does! Made from bright green NZ Marsden Flower jade with yellow ochre spots and rivers from South Island, New Zealand. Dimensions (Approximately Maximum) 2 5/8 “X 1 1/2 †X 1/3 “Inches 67 X 38 X 8 Mms 1.4 Ozs, 39.4 Gms, 197.5 cts Made in New Zealand by New Zealand Carver in TOP New Zealand Greenstone! Toki is an adze used for carving wood; this is lashed with braided black cord in a style unique to NZ. The carvers developed a style of wearing this around the neck so their prized possession (wood carving tool) will not be misplaced. Do not buy cheap imitations and do not pay exorbitant prices (for generic and not well finished stuff) too! Contrary to the claims (by dealers who wish to sell their NZ nephrite at exorbitant prices) all nephrite from all over the world has been similarly invaluable for many cultures for thousands of years. My auctions offer the range, choice and reasonable prices too!
