Ride a White Mare

Marco Gentolini wants to write about jade after he visits the world’s biggest carving of a single piece of gem-quality green jade housed at the Buddhist Temple near Bendigo. But he’s led to ask a bigger question about jade, like is there any naturally occurring white jade in Australia? All the experts say no. But whisperings tell him otherwise. He travels in the dark, but his desire is so strong, he finds helpers and companions who take him to unknown corners of the land. Marco compels us to ask whether we can believe all we have been told in the past. He decides to write his story in a unique and polished way worthy of the stone he has grown to love.
