It is recent discovery, 1966. This stone very rare as there are only a few places that it is found. Most gaspeite comes from Australia.
Randy Garcia, the designer & artist of this piece, was born and raised in the Santo Domingo Pueblo of New Mexico. His style is generally mosaics of shells and stones.
