PRODUCT DATA 

This is undoubtedly the most breathtaking and Intricate 92 kg African Butter Jade Royal African Lady Bust Sculpture you’ll ever encounter. Crafted by the legendary TM Gidi, Mathew, is a globally celebrated artist (I still remember him from earlier days when he worked for Ruacana) . This masterpiece reflects his international acclaim, having been showcased in exhibitions across Europe, America, and the Far East. This particular African Jade rough material was mined by myself from Bronkhorstspruit, near Pretoria in South Africa. and was mined and sold to Ruacana in  1990. After traveling long distance for 35 years, it has now returned to Toprock, where  Tudor, one of our lapidary guys, has re-polished any small scratches out and made it new and shiny again. Absolutely Classic Masterpiece!
