This Nephrite Jade Shepherds Whistle is used in New Zealand by farmers, sheep herders and dog trialists. And the Shepherds Whistle makes an excellent Greenstone Necklace as well.
It is made from pounamu, New Zealand's nephrite jade, sourced from Hokitika, and crafted in the same area. It is known for its transparency— see the last photo.
How to blow the shepherd's whistle:
Hold the tab and place the whistle in your mouth. The curved open edge will be facing out. The curved solid edge will be inside your mouth, against your tongue. Hold the whistle in your mouth so there is a gap underneath the whistle. (If you place your tongue against the lower hole, you will lose any sound). Blow. No need to blow hard, just blow across the top of the whistle, like you are blowing across the top of a bottle. Once you have mastered that, you can also move your tongue up and down underneath the whistle, to create more sounds.
