" The book begins with a beautiful Chinese proverb :
The river that does not have stone will not be clear,
The garden that does not have stone will not be beautiful,
The room that does not have stone will not be elegant,
And the person who does not have stone will not be eminent."
I really liked the Pink Calcite "Calcite with pyrite microcrystals, 28 cm, from the Manaoshan mine, Chenzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, China. Found ca. 2009."
