Jade

By far one of the highly prized stones in the history of Chinese art is jade.  Its significance rivals that of gold and diamond in the West.  Innumerable object d'arts have been made from jade, many of them of exquisite craftsmanship.  At the family reunion dinner, with views of the Victoria Harbour at night, all the place settings were in jade, including the jade piece in the menu.  Surrounded by expensive objects, I count myself lucky that the love of my siblings is priceless.
