Here are some recent images of the "Emperor's Sunrise" outside the Canadian Pavilion in Tiananmen Square in China. We also have another jade river boulder that will be found inside the Pavilion that will be for sale, as well as the bar in the Pavilion is screened with jade tiles that will be for sale as well.

Polar Pride is the world largest pure gem quality jade boulder ever found, weighing 18 tones. It was found in 2001 at our Polar Mines found in Northern British Columbia near Dease Lake. Over a year ago we sold Polar Pride and it is now being carved in Northern Thailand into a large Jade Buddha. Once it is finished being carved in the next couple months it will tour around Asia and Australia before residing in Bendigo, Australia.
