This book is made out of jade, the toughest naturally occurring material on Earth, the enduring stone revered by the ancient Chinese as the Stone of Heaven; it will last for many millennia.  It will travel, be carried through space and time, speak to future generations.

Born out of faith, it is The Jade Book: A Stone of Hope.

In December 2000, Cosimo Geracitano set out to do the seemingly impossible, to make a book entirely out of jade, with bound pages that could be turned.  This is the fascinating story of one man’s struggle and sacrifice to transform British Columbian jade (nephrite) into a form that has never been carved before.
