To those of asian culture and who follows feng shui?

I bought a pure jade ring (no gold or silver) for about 30 bucks. It was very translucent but still very pretty. While I was showering, I set it aside and then it fell in the tub and cracked into several pieces. I find it a waste to just throw it out and buy another. I want to super glue it back together or bring it to a jewelers who can maybe add some silver pieces but, is it considered back luck to wear jade once its been broken?

Thanks in advance

eng shui is a “Theoretical Approach” to practical living (or common sense.)

i used to believe in feng shui, until they all sucked out every penny i saved just to be “prosperous”. until i realized that feng shui is just “common sense” only in a higher level. here are some examples…

feng shui: placing a plant (or small fountain) beside your computer reduce negative energy.
practical sense: computer monitors (where you work) is very eye straining, your eyes tend to blink less and dry up. placing a plant or small fountain helps humidify the area surrounding your computer and eventually comforts your eyes.

feng shui: don’t place bed under a beam.
practical sense: if earthquake occurs and that beam fell, surely, your squished.

feng shui: lamp post or electrical post in front of your house gives negative energy.
practical sense: when storm comes and wipes every standing structures, your house will be the first to be hit by that post.

these are just examples of the “common sense” a.k.a. “feng shui” principles. feng shui puts numbers, symbols, fancy names, formulas, etc… just to convince people that they will be prosperous, healthy, etc. etc. etc…

i used to have persistent bad luck, until i consulted a feng shui master. he said that i was not paying tributes to my ancestors. if i pay him a $1000 those ancestors’ spirits bothering me will be gone, and i can earn that money in a year in return.

well, in that the case, i didn’t pay him a single cent – i don’t have that money! instead i went to church, prayed for my ancestors, made a small donation to the charity, and after a week, voila! i’m back in business! and it didn’t take a year!

it is not really “bad luck” breaking a jade ring. though it can be bad luck because you just lost 30bucks! no need to worry about it, as long as you know you’re not doing anything bad to your fellows, no bad luck can happen to you. but if you’re bad and mean towards others, even a hundred jade rings can’t bring you good luck.

by the way, i’m asian.
