Hi, my name is Kenny Comello and I've lived and mined Jade on the South Coast of Big Sur for 37 years. In 1971 we staked out the Black Fir Jade Mines consisting of three lode claims and three placer claims for nephrite jade.The mines have been shut down and the area is now a Wilderness Area.
I started diving the Jade Cove in 1975 and still dive today when conditions are calm.-----I've found much Vulcan Jade over the years and also have many tons of rough Botroyoidal Jade in my pile.
I began the Big Sur Jade Co. in 1979 in the small town of Gorda. I came out of the hills to take advantage of electricity to run my saws and tumblers and also to develop a market for the Jade on the coast.I no longer have a retail shop but have a web-site that someday I hope to be able to control myself. bigsurjadeco.com
I'm a new member of FOJ and would like to talk to other Jade nuts around the world, especially those of you from New Zealand. I believe our Big Sur country and Jade have many things in common with New Zealand's and I'm in love with the pictures I see of your beautiful South Island.
And anyone interested in our Big Sur Jade,----I'd be glad to share my knowledge with.----k.c.

Welcome Kenny.

It is great to see you are interested in this group. We have meet, yet have not had the chance to get to know eachother. Most of the jade hunters think of you as the Mayor of South County. I do as well.

Everyone should know that Kenny Comello is the authority on Big Sur jade. Kenny helped fight for the exception to collect jade in the MBS.

Clear Skies!
