The Process

From the Pacific
to your hands

01

Acquire J~ Coins

Select your tier. Coins are minted per auction — maximum 1,000 per event. They hold value across every future auction on the platform.

02

Hold 24 Hours

Coins must be held for 24 hours before you can bid. This keeps the auction for people who are here for the jade, not the arbitrage.

03

Hunt Live

The collector goes live. Jade comes up on camera, lot by lot. Your tier determines your window. You spend your coins on what calls to you.

04

Received

Your piece ships directly. Provenance included. The stone's story — where it was found, how — travels with it.

Jade-Coin Tiers

For Serious Collectors

Commission
a private hunt

THE PRIVATE HUNT

Your intention.
Your entire collection.

You commission a dedicated hunt. The collector goes to Big Sur for you — reads your intention before they go, hunts with your purpose in mind. Every piece found on that hunt is yours. The entire proceeds of your commission fund the collection trip.

You write your intention — what you're seeking, what this jade is for, what you want to feel when you hold it.
The collector reads it before going to the field. Your words go into the water with them.
Every piece found on your commissioned hunt belongs to you — nothing goes to auction.
You receive the full collection: every stone found, with field notes on where each was found and how.
Proceeds go entirely to funding the hunt — travel, time in the field, the work of finding.
COMMISSION PRICE
$500+
Commission funds the dedicated hunt. You receive every piece found. Price varies by hunt duration and location. Discuss your intention with the agent first.

Private hunts are scheduled based on tides, weather, and the collector's field calendar. Limited availability.

Big Sur nephrite. Pulled from the California coast — from the surf, from the stone beaches at low tide. Never quarried. Every piece on this platform comes from someone who found it. That distinction is the platform. That distinction is everything. — JadeHandForward · Natural Only · Always
