I must be bored because i picked up a big wyoming nephrite jade piece off the bay for cheap. I’d seen plenty of those 4x2 natural hone jade 10K ads in amazon/ebay, etc. even read this jade thread and some other posts here and there, i saw the jasper guy pushing wyoming recently.
So i found a 7x3x.5” solid rectangle and spent some time yesterday trying to unlock the secrets, if any are to be had.
Worked it through the sic progression to 500 and then some 800 w/d and then finished with the 400 naniwa cleaner stone. No shave test yet, but i can see change at the edge and bevel level, but no swarf at this point.
Anyone have any recent experience or thoughts on continued testing to try?
