    Pat: I have been drilling 1.10mm holes in canadian Jade for 30 years.
    I use to use small dimond drills with a recipitating small electric
    drill press. The diamond drill cost too much so I started to 400
    carbirundun grit and a small imm ropper rod or a steel drill bit.. 

    I build a dam around where the hole is to be drilled and apply the
    grit and some water to the small dam .The drill rod goes up and dpwn
    and in about twenty minutes the hole will be done in a 10 mm cab. Hope
    this will help. 

Yours:
Billy S. Bates
