Strap with Iridescence Coral (Deep-Sea Pine) and Burmese Jade

[Strap with Iridescence Coral (Deep-Sea Pine) and Burmese Jade] Iridescence Coral Belonging to the "Octocorallia Alcyonacea" order, similar to coral used for general gemstones, this is a type of coral found in the deep sea at depths of 300m to 1000m. Dwelling in the deep sea, this coral has long been regarded as a rare treasure, prized for use in the prayer beads of high-ranking monks and as decorative elements for the sword belts of samurai. Currently, due to treaties and regulations, its collection is prohibited. Iridescence coral is also registered as a gemstone and is known as "Rainbow Coral" or "Deep-Sea Pine." When polished, this coral reveals a mysterious spectrum of colors, merging with a wood-grain-like beauty to shimmer with a woody, natural, and mystical luster. Jadeite The Most Fracture-Resistant of All Minerals While the Mohs hardness of jadeite is 7 for the tougher variety and 6.5 for the softer variety, its toughness ranks highest among all minerals. It is said to be more resistant to impact and less prone to breaking than diamond, the hardest mineral on Earth. For this reason, raw jadeite has been worked and used for tools like axes and spearheads since the Stone Age. Stone tools made from raw jadeite have been discovered in Japan and Russia. It is speculated that the material of the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the Imperial Regalia passed down through the imperial family, may also be jadeite. ■ Materials: Iridescence Coral from Okushiri Island, Hokkaido (coated with water-based varnish, compliant with the Food Sanitation Act), Genuine Burmese Jadeite AA+, Silver 925 beads ■ Cord: Waxed thread ■ Cord Length: Approximately 68mm (including braided section) ■ Size: Iridescence Coral bead: Approx. 22mm (height) x 13mm (width) Total Length: 95mm (main body)
