Watson Lake, YT to Dease Lake, BC
August 25, 2013
This was a much shorter day’s drive of only 150 or so miles
with a great break in the middle, Jade City with the Princess Jade Mine and the
Cassiar Mountain Jade Store. Yes we did some more shopping. They cut and polish
Jade there, but do no carving. A lot o their Jade is shipped overseas. The
interesting thing is the scrap box out front. It is full of small pices from
larger cuttings but contains all gem quality jade. A small bag that you fill
costs $20. We had help from the owners wife, but Katherine found the best
piece, a cut in penguin shape. Of course we bought some other stuff too.
