My dad used to dive here, pulled out some nice pieces of jade. The cove is hard to find now, and the path to the beach is ruined, interesting place back in the 70's and 80's...
Back in the latter half of the 20th century, Don Wobber found a huge jade boulder. It weighs tons. He managed to bring it up to shore, get it on a truck, and later donate it to the Oakland Museum. Where is that boulder now? Thanks for the beautiful and interesting video.
I have a nice piece of jade and a necklace that man dove to get in jade cove from big sur. my grandmother gifted them both to me. 💚 S/O Grams haha love you! and love my jade. the stone reminds me of my mother when i hold it or meditate with it
@@naturesuniquerocks652 It's really hard to get to now, there is, or was a cliff side path that led to the beach, that is now partly washed out. You would need to be part mountain climber to get down with your dive gear now, though Im sure it could be done...
A sunken submerged road from thousand of years ago that doesn't operate as a road any longer, and this road quite possibly lead to Ancient Lemuria. The Jade Highway to Lemuria
I have been there and have a photo of me and my dog sitting in front of an emerald green cliff. It is above water at low tide, and, just like that big boulder the diver risked his life to retrieve, it is all serpentine.
@@billclancy4913 Don't beleive everything you read on Wikipedia. Tell me how long it takez you to cut a pencil sized piece of what you are calling jade using a diamond trim saw.
@@williamogilvie6909 you know i collected a bunch of rocks from their and i know for certain some are serpentine. the serpentine carved very easily though. their are some rocks of jade, but im not even to sure if i have any. ive seen you comment on almost all of these jade cove videos, have you been? did you find any yourself?
@@blizzardgam3s206 I did find a small jade rock there. It is smooth and brown on the outside, with no fractures like you see on serpentine rocks. It was about 4" long, and about 3/8" around; pencil shape. When I got home I sawed it in half with my diamond band saw. That took over a half hour and the motor was smoking when I got done. The saw was never the same so I sold it. Inside the rock was black. I polished it into a cabochon. That took awhile also, using diamond wheels. It shows a bit of orange peel on the surface, which is typical for jade. I have bought jade from different locations over the years.. BC, Vermont, etc. When polished it can be any color. When found, it is I usually brown on the surface. The serpentine at Jade Cove is very nice. Anything green at Jade Cove is serpentine. Don't break your back hauling it up to your car. Serpentine is very common in California. There is no such thing as "almost jade AKA serpentine".
I shot all the underwater footage in this video. Not sure how they got it but I like the story. Hanging out and diving with Don was a wonderful experience. It's been 20 years since I shot this but I remember those dives as if it was yesterday. Mind blowing!
Don died in 2014 and is missed very much. I have some large pieces of jade Don and I found together on a few different dives at Jade Cove. Miss you Don!
"Federal bureaucrats"... I am guessing that would be east coast democrat politicians that love to tell those in other states how to live. Add Nancy Pelosi to the list.
What would happen if the script was flipped, and you had to come to the realization (most likely requiring that rare feeling within you called critical thought) that you can pretty much guarantee that even more people could say the very same thing about you and the very same insufferable intolerance of allowing others to live u your proverbial boot across their neck than they find themselves with similar fears with the Dems doing the same thing.... (for what it’s worth, j sure am not Democrat)....
In the 70s and 80s people were hard mining it out of the mountainside with no consideration of the erosion to the cliffside. it would have resulted in potential landslides that would have probably sped up the loss of access. Thats why the gov had to step in and regulate it. Honestly pretty fair. They could have shut the whole thing down. With all the erosion and landslides they have had the last 2 years i just want to be able to hang around and beach comb even if I find nothing. If u dive it or comb for it, its still really dangerous there too.

Found a place like that in New Zealand .I went on to carve it for a living for most of my life there .
Do NOT let the world KNOW the precise location please. 🙏🥰💝 Beautiful. Sacred. Save 💜
Wow! That was a beautiful boulder of Jade.

Ah yes the algorithm has brought us back once again
Bwahahaha
This is what happens when you tell a "friend" where you found that pretty rock.
My dad who was a well known diver, got a lot of jade out of there. One of his pieces weighed 6 tons. He knew Don Wobber.

Wow

Wow amazing! I want to learn how to scuba dive for jade now!
This video gets me tearful. So pretty to get to see inside after A year of looking at it from the coast. All the greens and blues. Magic.

If there weren't limits on what people could take, the entire jade cave could be blasted out of the water and sold.

I have no problem with that it allows other people the experience screw the greedy bstrds!
