Mammoth Ivory: Mammoth ivory, a relic of prehistoric creatures, serves as an alternative material for traditional ivory carving in China. The United Nations CITES does not prohibit the trade of mammoth ivory. As a prehistoric fossil, much of it is unsuitable for carving due to climate change; only about 15% of high-quality ice-grade mammoth ivory is usable. It is a non-renewable, scarce resource, considered "white gold" by governments worldwide and a precious cultural artifact, with its limited quantity leading to restrictions on extraction. Mammoth ivory is highly valued in the market for its legality, non-renewability, and collectibility. Renowned for its exquisite, luxurious, and durable nature, it is hailed as an "organic gemstone" with significant potential for collection and investment appreciation. It appears multiple times in Buddhist scriptures, holding a revered and sacred status in Buddhism, symbolizing warding off evil, attracting blessings, calming the spirit, and stabilizing the home. Fragments from carving can be used medicinally to calm seizures and spirits, as well as to dispel dampness and detoxify. It can even be used in beauty treatments! Pterocarpus Santalinus (Xiao Ye Zi Tan): Pterocarpus santalinus grows slowly, with a growth ring every five years, taking 800 years to mature. It is also known for its ability to ward off evil and misfortune, making it a material historically favored by royalty and for Buddhist spiritual practices. Pterocarpus santalinus is believed to nourish the blood, enhance beauty, and, when handled, releases a substance called "wood oxygen" which can calm the mind and is highly beneficial for the internal organs. *Ji Rui* combines the ancient tranquility of mammoth ivory with the gentle warmth of Pterocarpus santalinus. The flowing Tai Chi symbolizes the secret language of heaven and earth, weaving a harmonious radiance within the patterns. Prosperity is like stardust, adorning the knot, while peace is like a gentle breeze, brushing past the carved wood's fragrance. This small pendant carries the hopes of time, allowing auspiciousness to gently grow in the palm of your hand. **Craftsmanship** The ice-grade mammoth ivory peace buckle is a round ring, complemented by mammoth ivory beads inlaid with turquoise and carved with a lotus pattern.
