Gemstone carving is one of China's most ancient and important art forms. It is a craft steeped in history and tradition, continually reflecting the philosophy and culture of the Chinese people.

By traditional Chinese definition, hardstones are divided into two categories: jade, which is the mineral nephrite, and all other precious and semi-precious stones. Jade is considered the most esteemed gem of all and associated with many desirable qualities in humans.

Gem studies, part one! I decided to have gems for the Patreon tiers, which was both fitting for my tastes and also a great opportunity to do some studies. And I started out with Titanium Quartz, Opal and Emerald- not to scale, because otherwise that would be a massive opal-

You can check them out in full resolution over at Patreon, and I also have speedpaints for all three of them there! What's your fave of this set? >:3c
