Scallop shells are the largest among marine shells, reaching up to 1.8 meters in diameter. The name "che qu" originated in the Han Dynasty. Because the outer shell has radial grooves, resembling ancient chariot tracks, it was called "che qu". Later generations added the radical "stone" next to "che qu" because it is as hard as stone. Scallop shell, pearls, coral, and amber are known as the four great organic gemstones in the West. In Chinese Buddhism, they are revered as one of the Seven Treasures along with gold, silver, glazed glass, agate, pearls, and amber. Types of Scallop Shell: They are divided into non-vitrified scallop shell (porcelain white), semi-vitrified scallop shell (milky white), fully vitrified scallop shell (translucent white), yellow scallop shell [often with cracks], blood red scallop shell, golden thread scallop shell, and patterned thread scallop shell, among others. Among these, patterned thread scallop shell, yellow scallop shell, blood red scallop shell, and vitrified scallop shell are the most precious. Some "vitrified" scallop shells on the market are treated with chemical bleaching agents and do not reveal the natural texture of the scallop shell. Natural scallop shells cannot be exactly identical to each other. Scallop Shell Care Instructions: (1) Scallop shell is an organic mineral treasure, mainly composed of calcium carbonate. Therefore, it should not be exposed to acid for extended periods. It should be cleaned regularly with clear water to maintain its luster. (2) Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, as it can easily cause cracks. (3) Applying oil periodically can help protect it.
