This is a magatama (comma-shaped bead) made from natural Itoigawa-iri Kon-zawa jade. The deep blue on the crown is very rich, and the contrast with the characteristic brown and gray of the iri-kon is very beautiful. 【Approximate Size】 Length 33mm x Width 19mm x Thickness 10mm Weight 10.2g Itoigawa jade is the national stone of Japan, and its mining is now prohibited. Among them, raw stones with particularly beautiful colors and patterns are highly rare and traded at high prices, with retail prices of 10,000 yen/g not being uncommon. This magatama is offered at an exceptional price by eliminating all intermediary costs and margins. This magatama is made by skilled craftsmen who carefully selected beautiful raw stones. The color and pattern of jade vary depending on the geological conditions and the minerals contained, making it a unique power stone in the world. In addition, the texture is different from other stones, and it is characterized by its excellent healing power. There is an old Chinese saying, "Jade nurtures people, and people nurture jade." I hope you will enjoy the process of the jade becoming more beautiful while receiving power and healing by wearing it. (The color and transparency will gradually change, and a deep flavor will emerge.) This is a masterpiece that reproduces the shape of the magatama, which has been treasured as a sacred item since ancient times, and allows you to feel the breath of ancient culture, so I think you will enjoy it for a long time. Please note that although it has been carefully polished, there may be scratches or cracks on the surface or inside due to the natural stone. Also, the color may appear different depending on the lighting conditions. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. #Jade #PowerStone #Healing #jade #Magatama #JomonPeriod #Ruins #ExcavatedItems #Itoigawa #ItoigawaJade Color...Green Material...Natural Stone Stone Material...Jade
