Troy Burns became entranced with Monterey Jade in 2005. He then started carving, sculpting and polishing the jade and creating custom wooden bases for each piece. What was once a hobby became Jade Mountain Stones, which are featured in many local galleries and gift shops. His sculptures are strong, sensual, mystical showpieces which perfectly accent fine interiors of  architectural homes. He also makes beautiful jade earrings, pendants, handheld stones and Suisekis (Japanese Gazing Stones).
