“The Raven” was hand-carved from Wyoming Edwards Black Jade and strung on black nylon cord with matching sliding beads for adjusting cord length.

Note from the Artist: This design was inspired by my grandmother, who speaks on her affinity for ravens at length, and often. She has been a totem in my life, and the ravens have been a totem in hers - especially those on her property up on the Northern California coast.

This jade is a Wyoming Edwards Black Jade, purchased from a friend of mine in the local jade community (which is fairly small here in the States). This man travels around Wyoming and other Western States, hunting and collecting jade from mines and friends all over the place. He tows a large trailer behind his truck that becomes home to him and his sweet black cat, Rupert, for much of the year.
