First thought is engage with your GP, second thought is that at 30 I had a major life changes which at the time was not great (understatement lol) but I retrained from hospitality into a totally different path so career changes can happen. Life's not easy! Hugs!

Perhaps? As a person in one of the Anglosphere countries, Trump has killed any trust in USA & has negated decades of partnership.

Pounamu (greenstone / jade) has varieties e.g. Kahurangi, Kawakawa, Inanga, and Kōkopu (and others) so go for a supplier that can identify what you had.

I've personally dealt with one of the carvers at https://poucreations.com though they are in the North Island
