Raw Jade Stone

The Emperor’s Tear and the Spirit of the Forest

Long ago, in the heart of a great Eastern empire, there lived a master jeweler of unrivaled skill. One day, the emperor summoned him and bestowed upon him a sacred task—he was to create a necklace that would embody eternal peace.

The jeweler searched through his finest stones and selected a raw jade stone of deep green, believing it held the wisdom and serenity the emperor sought.

He carved and polished, shaped and refined, but each time he presented his work, the emperor merely shook his head. “It is beautiful,” he said, “but it is incomplete. True peace is not found in a single form—it must be born from unity.”

Desperate to fulfill his task, the jeweler set out on a journey, crossing vast deserts and towering mountains in search of an answer. His travels led him far north, where the air was crisp, and the forests whispered ancient secrets. There, hidden in the heart of the woodland, he found a rare tree—the Curly Birch. The people of the land revered it as a symbol of balance and light, its golden swirls resembling the dance of the wind and sun.

With great care, the jeweler carved a delicate frame from the sacred wood, shaping it to cradle the jade like a loving embrace. When he returned to the emperor’s palace and unveiled his creation, the emperor fell to his knees. The jade held the depth of the earth’s wisdom, while the Curly Birch radiated the warmth of life itself. Together, they formed perfect harmony.

From that day forth, the emperor decreed that all rulers should wear a necklace of jade and Curly Birch—not as a symbol of power, but as a reminder that true strength lies not in force, but in balance.

And so, the legend of the Emperor’s Tear and the Spirit of the Forest was born, passed down through generations, whispering its timeless truth to those who would listen.
