Yangon - Part 2
Since the ancient time, Myanmar is famous for its beautiful and precious gemstones- sapphire, jade, citrine, lapis lazuli, ruby etc. These precious stones are perfect for jewelry making. Everyone who has the opportunity to visit the country should grab one or two. The prices are quite low and the quality is excellent. Of course la, hubby bought home souvenir... *wink-wink*
Hehe..he didn’t buy any jewelry whatsoever. Instead, he bought a gemstones painting..err, rather a picture with a soothing scenery. A waterfall with lots of green background. It is made of jade (green), citrine (yellow), sapphire (blue), peridot (pale green), ruby (red), spinel (pink), onyx (black), quartz (white), zircon (brown), amethyst (violet) and fossil wood (orange). The price, USD30. Hmm, a perfect picture for the living room. For the time being, it is still lying on the table, have not frame it yet … hahahaha....jpg)
This one is really captivating. Oh my, just how many jade did they use to create this?! It is a large picture, so hubby only snap part of it and bcos of the quantity of jade used, time spent to materialize this pic…the price is not cheap, only USD350. *wink * It is so beautiful, don’t you agree?

I’m sure there are other shops selling gemstones picture, but hubby bought it from this particular shop, SHNE Yanadar in Bogyoke Market. Ready-framed pictures are also available but are too bulky to be hand-carried into the plane. Here are some other pictures that are equally fascinating.
