Polar Pride Boulder


Polar Pride is the world largest pure gem quality jade boulder ever found, weighing 18 tones. It was found in 2001 at our Polar Mines found in Northern British Columbia near Dease Lake. Over a year ago we sold Polar Pride and it is now being carved in Northern Thailand into a large Jade Buddha. Once it is finished being carved in the next couple months it will tour around Asia and Australia before residing in Bendigo, Australia. For more information on the project please visit: http://www.jadebuddha.org.au/
