One of Taiwan's most treasured stones. It's texture's indescribable smooth, refined, and warm to the touch; yet, its incredibly durable and strong. One feels the story of the Earth itself in the palm of your hand.

This early yin-yang symbol evolved from archaic and poetic notions about the rainbow: "Where the rainbow ends, the dragon begins" goes the ancient saying. The two heads, at the end of the rainbow lead to wealth in double proportion. As feng shui, the two heads are potent masculine "yang" dragons. At the center of masculine power, the subtle energy of the feminine dragon, the yin, complete the yang. Both incomplete without the other: without one, you can not have the other. Double-headed dragons like this are deeply auspicious symbols of material fulfillment and balance not only in financial matters, but also the feelings between man and woman. This pendant is, at the same time, beautifully symbolic and strikingly good looking.
