Botryoidal jade from Cape San Martine on a wood burl base. |
Mike Burkleo's jade blade knives were my favorite thing at the show this year. |
The petrified dinosaur bone handled jade-bladed knife was my single favorite item at the show. |
Had I the fundage I would have purchased this item in a heartbeat and forever treasured it. |
Note how the jade tang fits all the way up through the two-paneled petrified dinosaur bone handle. |

The displays this year were out of sight... this is an area of the show that is rapidly improving from year to year. |
