This little jade collection has been amassed in the years
since I first unpacked the cartons full of my mother's crystals.
 The healing properties of the stone have always been
appealing to me.  For a long time I kept a jade ring that was
given to me at menarche as a symbol of budding wisdom
among the natural kingdoms.  

pictured above is a nephrite healing disc and smaller piece
of yellow jade.   The darker slice came from a jewelry
maker's cast-off pile.   The carved frog is from Mexico.  All
make excellent bathing companions.
