"What do you mean it's more than just 'Spring with Color'? Does that mean there are other colors? Wouldn't that be..."
"Wouldn't that be what?"
The guest who had spoken shot Timothy Donovan a look, clearly displeased with his tone. But in the end, his desire to share his knowledge won out, and he turned his back to Timothy to enlighten the other guests.
"With jadeite, a piece that's purple with green is called 'Spring with Color'—'spring' refers to the purple and 'color' refers to the green. If you add a touch of red to that, it becomes 'Blessing, Fortune, Longevity'. And if you add yellow to that, you get 'Blessing, Fortune, Longevity, Joy'. It's already difficult for a single piece of jade to contain multiple colors, let alone this specific combination."
As he spoke, the guest turned to look at the raw stone in the master craftsman's hands, his gaze so intense it was hard to ignore.
