Olympic again...it's bout how are the Olympic Beijing medals made. u can actually find jade on the medal itself, tats awesome i think. jade or 'Yü' in chinese was considered the most noble of all gems in the Chinese Empire jade. 'Yü' means "treasure" in Chinese the way "gold" means "wealth" in English. no doubt it symbolizes the Chinese n the most important thing is the symbolic of Olympic games 2008 in China. . .
