Big Sur Jade and Expertise

It is factually correct that Big Sur Nephrite jade sculptures by the respected sculptor Don Wobber appear on my website.

There is an old saying among jade collectors that if you ask 6 experts for an opinion, you'll get 12 opinions! Expertise is derived from direct personal experience over a prolonged period of time. Expertise in one field does not by itself guarantee expertise in another discipline. Gaining expertise requires hard work, study, reflection and confidence in one's ability and the integrity to admit there is always something new to be learned. Keeping an open, flexible mind and applying knowledge to a real world situation are important.Knowledge once painfully gained cannot be taken away from you.

Thank-you,
