Imperial Nephrite Jade is extremely difficult to mine, given the remote locations of the Siberian mine from which it is sourced. The stone has a layered crystallization that makes it challenging to carve; it is brittle. Our master craftsman has managed to add an almost tangible seamlessness to this depiction of the God of Wisdom dancing to His own rhythm. It is a true amalgamation of balance, technique, and skill in a creation that will never be seen again.
