Ancient Tibetan Pema Raka Size: Approximately 2.9 x 1.8 x 1.5 cm (maximum value) Weight: 11 g *✳Pema Raka✳* Pema Raka, worn by the people of the Kham region in eastern Tibet (Khams Pa). Pema means "lotus" Raka means "red, blood". This stone, known as the second coral, has been passed down in Tibet since ancient times, said to be over 2,000 years old. The deep orange color of carnelian symbolizes the power and prosperity of the time, and seems to have evoked the color of blood, which represents the bonds of kinship, and the deep affection of family. Carnelian that crossed the Himalayas into the Tibetan region is called "Pema Raka". "Blood spots" are a sign of aging and can be seen in agate-type stones. Although it is called aging, if we consider it as one expression of the growth process until a living thing ends its life, it is still in the growth process until the end of its life. If it is a natural stone still sleeping in the stratum, it is easy to imagine that it is still growing, but even after being cut and polished and worn, the fact that it shows blood spots in the long flow of time means that the stone is still growing and has not died, which is often interpreted as such.
