Hi,
my name is Ken Dalzell, welcome to my site, West Coast Jade.
I hope you enjoy viewing the carvings and stones. Jade (Pounamu) has
been a large part of my life and it gives me pleasure to share part of it
with you.
We also display this fine work in our shop, Shades of Jade Ltd. Ltd., in Greymouth,
on The West Coast of the South Island of New Zealand.
The piece I am holding is our shop spirit.
