Quartzite is a non-foliated metamorphic rock. This rock is intrusive and forms when exposed to extreme amounts of heat and pressure. Over a billion years ago, there was an ocean where Kamiak Butte is. This ocean floor was made of sand, as time went on oceans receded and the exposed sand underwent processes that turned it into sandstone – or as we learned in class the process of lithification. Years later, this sandstone would morph into the quartzite that is present now.2

Reynolds points out that the sculpture is not constructed from actual emerald, but an alternate “deep bluish-green” stone. Historically it has been identified as an emerald structure. Not only is the representation of the Buddha important, so is the material from which the image was carved. While it is not actually emerald, the color of the image still carries significance: green is associated with fertility and renewal. Reynolds states, “…the power of such jewels to bring relief from disease, to hasten childbirth, to restore sight, to increase wealth and the like” meaning that worshippers associate the color of the jewel with spiritual power. In one account from the Buddhist chronicles, the Jewel displays its magical ability by destroying a shelter built by a ruler by conjuring lightning. The Jewel decided it did not want to reside in the shelter. In this case, the Jewel almost shows anthropomorphic power. This example provides a description of the Jewel’s spiritual quality. The Holy Emerald Jewel is more than an image, it is a sacred object that is revered for its mythical and symbolic

. Jade, as known as Nephrite or Jadeite, is a glassy yet tough stone that has been revered by the Chinese Culture for centuries. Jade has been mined and carved into weapons, tools or into other pieces since the Neolithic Period till current day China. Jade is extremely important to the Chinese that they have a Proverb that goes as the following, “Gold has a price; Jade is priceless” (ElectraStone).

This makes Jade come in all different shapes and sizes. This process allows it to have impurities that will always create a different
The main color in the novel is green. The color green can symbolize youth, calmness, and sexuality. Aura’s eyes are a vibrant green, something that Felipe mentions on several occasions. Throughout the novel green shows up in different places. Every time Felipe looks into Aura’s green eyes he becomes calm and thinks of nothing else. When they first meet he says “you can see that those eyes are sea green and that they surge, break to foam, grow calm again, then surge again like a wave” (Fuentes 27). He describes them as the sea and waves, which bring a state of tranquility and peace. When Felipe sees Aura, she is almost always in a green dress. When they meet on the night that they have sex, she is again in green. Most of her outfits throughout the novel are green. The most significant part about the color choice is that it ironically symbolizes youth, but in the novel Aura becomes older as the story goes. The color symbolizes the youth that Senora Consuelo is losing through Aura. Green shows the reader what Felipe is not acknowledging, such as her youth being drained. At the end of the novel, Aura is in a green dress, but is then revealed to be Senora
