i'm going to carve everyday if it kills me.

It won't - believe me, I've tried. I'd estimate I carved all but 2 or 3 days in the last 4-5 weeks. I got dizzy a couple of times, but that was about it.
As for the stone, it must be something half decent if it's $18/lb, that's a semi-precious rough price...you could get near gem grade British Columbian jade for that (we can here anyway). Can you backlight your piece?
