Jade is a big problem locally as the pieces can be large , in the 400 lb to multiple ton category and it is so hard as to stop quality rock saws at times. Looking to take an easier gentler approach I started collecting small cobbles off the beach after winter storms and after drilling them just using a boar's hair rotary brush and a small amount of oxide polish to make them look wet but not change their shape. They have proven popular and now I just need a normal violent pacific northwest(US) winter.

I actually prefer this approach, looks organic and old.
