Book Reviews of Jade (Fred Ward Gem Book Series) (Fred Ward Gem Series)

Book Review: Stone of Heaven
Summary: 5 Stars

Jade (Fred Ward Gem Book)The pictures in this book are magnificent and show jade--and jade carving at its best! In fact, it is difficult to take your eyes off the pictures long enough to read the text. Readable, not pedantic--the book definitely shows the carvers skill and how the jade speaks to them about what to carve. This book truly shows the one stone that responds to a person's "chi." If you don't believe me, get the book--then buy some really good--not dyed or infused--jade and wear it next to your skin. See . . . I told you.
