Wyoming Jade, a Deeper Look

Hunting Jade in Wyoming - where to look, where did it come from, how was it formed.
Craig Hazelton is a jade expert in progress whose interest in jade started when local club members showed him some Wyoming Jade. “It took me a long time to find some in the jade fields”, says Craig. Since then, he has attended jade festivals, jade carving workshops, made many friends in the jade community, and entered the 2014 World Jade symposium (he won the T-shirt shown in this photo for a jade carving). Craig has a strong geologic curiosity, and is learning by taking many seminars, a college course, conversations with experts, and of course YouTube!
