I really enjoyed my time at Mountain Jade. Ariana is such a joy and her art work is so beautifully powerful. It was interesting to watch the artist create. I also enjoyed learning about the different types of Jade and some of the different Maori customs associated with the beautiful pieces. Thank you for a memorable experience.
