Vist to the Jade Factory




Today we went to the Greenstone Factory. We got to touch the greenstone and put water on it. It felt smooth and nice. Then we went to see how the greenstone is made.

They had diamonds on the saw to cut the greenstone. You find greenstone in the lake and the beach and in the river. Special people carve it. We got to look around the shop at all the different things they made. At the end they gave us little parcels with our very own special pieces of greenstone.
