"Its polished and brilliancy represents the white of purity, its perfect compactness and extreme hardness represents the sureness of intelligence, its angles which do not cut, although they seem sharp, represents justice, the pure and prolonged sound which it gives forth when one strikes it represents music, its colour represents loyalty, its interior flaws, always showing themselves through transparency, call to mind sincerity, its iridescent brightness represents heaven" Confucius 551-497BC
