Its main components are opal and cryptocrystalline quartz, with a lustrous surface and vibrant colors. Some pieces are translucent and warm, displaying variations of yellow, white, red, green, blue, purple, and grey. Combined with the master artisans' intricate carvings, these stones transform into unique adornments. **Symbolism of Alashan Agate** Having endured eons of wind and sand, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it is also known as "Shedding of the Earth" and is one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. Since ancient times, it has been used as an amulet and talisman, symbolizing benevolent love and hope. It aids in dispelling negative energies such as stress, fatigue, and dullness. Since antiquity, it has been regarded as an auspicious item for peace and prosperity. Alashan is a mineral with a distinct "personality." Its variations are vast even within its own family, encompassing all colors and patterns. Therefore, finding an Alashan piece that resonates with you is a matter of luck and serendipity. If you feel a connection with it, please don't hesitate to bring it home. **Wearing and Care** - Strung on elastic cord for easy wearing and removal, but please **avoid excessive pulling** and **do not swing your hands vigorously**. - Alashan is a relatively hard mineral; contact with water during hand washing is perfectly fine. - If you feel comfortable wearing it, you can keep it on while showering, sleeping, or working. - Care is simple: rinse with clean water and dry. Avoid contact with or immersion in corrosive detergents. - Please avoid prolonged exposure to extreme high or low temperatures to prevent expansion and contraction of crystalline structures, which may cause cracks. ✨ The more beautiful, the more fragile. Please embrace its natural beauty. ✨ While we strive for perfection in our craftsmanship, natural minerals may have inherent textures, inclusions, or minor imperfections. We kindly ask for your understanding before making a purchase.
