Aged Zijin Rat Seeds: Refers to Zijin Rat Bodhi seeds that have been naturally stored and aged for a period under specific environmental conditions. Over time, their texture becomes more stable, their oiliness improves, making them easier to color and develop a patina when handled. The patina becomes warmer, richer, and the texture resembles jade, presenting a unique charm and aesthetic beauty. Aged seeds are not significantly different from regular Zijin Rat seeds, retaining their original rat-like appearance with a round body, protruding mouth, and the distinctive "three eyes." However, aged seeds may appear slightly shriveled compared to new seeds due to moisture loss, but their overall shape remains plump. In terms of color, aged seeds are usually darker, mostly dark brown, brown, or close to black, and may also have some naturally formed textures and color variations on the surface, giving them an ancient and charming look. **Shu Fu** The weight of an entire autumn stored in the wrist bones Black jade seeds biting into the stars in the rat hole Sandalwood buds nurturing round fables —The rings that count the years, Precisely calculating the fingerprints pressed into the amber-colored deep well Thirteen coconut shells cracking open the husk of time The secret whispers of abundance are sprouting **Product Description** Carefully selected Zijin Rat seeds aged naturally for many years, expertly hand-polished by artisans into standard 14.5mm perfectly round beads.
