I collect ancient (Neolithic) jade and have a number of good sized pieces (daos and statues that weigh several pounds or so) but nothing I have comes close to this, the [a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anshan_Jade_Buddha"]world's largest jade Buddha statue[/a]. Sculpted from a single piece of jade, it's ~8 meters high and weighs 260 tons.[em][/em]

 
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

That's amazing!! Beautiful, inspiring. We humans should devote more time to making beautiful pieces than create war all the time.
