From mountain to container.
Every boulder we ship has travelled six deliberate stages — each one a discipline refined over twenty-seven years.
Prospecting
Geologists survey serpentinite belts in the Cordillera, sampling float boulders and bedrock signatures that betray nephrite's signature dense, fibrous structure.
Claim & Permit
Mineral claims are staked and exploration permits secured in cooperation with First Nations stakeholders and BC mining authorities.
Extraction
Heavy excavators and rock breakers lift in-situ boulders — some weighing up to 30 tonnes — from alluvial deposits and primary outcrops.
Saw Testing
Each boulder is window-cut on site with diamond chainsaws to reveal interior colour, translucency, and structure before transport.
Grading
At our processing facility, lots are sorted into mine-run, A, AA, and AAA grades by veteran graders using strict colour and clarity standards.
Export
Boulders are crated in custom timber frames, documented, and containerised for ocean freight to ports worldwide.
Mined with the mountain in mind.
Our claims operate under strict reclamation plans. Every site we work is restored and replanted — leaving the land closer to its original state than the regulations require.
