Jade―
the stone that in the far fields
could moisten the dry season,
could make men move mountains
for the healing green of the inner hills
glistening like slices of winter melon.
From "Lost Sister"
"stone of Heaven" is a term used by the Chinese to describe what they view as the most precious of gems -Jade.
The use of carved jade has been a part of Chnese society for more than 6000 years.
To the ancient Chinese, Jade embodies qualities of nobility, perfection, constancy and immortality.
Jade in China is seen as containing properties that promote good health, good luck and protection.
Produced through the natural forces of mountains and riverbeds.
Eternal symbol of ancient civilization and divinity.
