Tibukkyo Taiwan Derong Collection | Fully Translucent Ice-Grade Giant Clam Bracelet 10mm Round Beads | Flower Silk Giant Clam Accessory: Flower Silk Giant Clam Spacer Beads Giant clams are rare organic gemstones, as white as jade, and also sacred Buddhist relics. Giant clams are the largest among marine shells, with a diameter of up to 1.8m. The name "Che Qu" originated in the Han Dynasty, named after the radiating grooves on the shell's surface, resembling ancient chariot tracks, hence "Che Qu". Later generations, recognizing its hardness, added the character for stone. Giant clams, pearls, coral, and amber are honored as the four great organic gemstones in the West, and are revered as one of the Seven Treasures in Chinese Buddhism, alongside gold, silver, lapis lazuli, agate, pearls, and amber. Types of Giant Clams: They are categorized into un-emulsified giant clams (porcelain white), semi-emulsified giant clams (milky white), fully emulsified giant clams (translucent white), yellow giant clams [often with cracks], red giant clams, golden silk giant clams, and flower silk giant clams. Among these, flower silk giant clams, yellow giant clams, red giant clams, and emulsified giant clams are the most precious. Some "emulsified" giant clams on the market are treated with chemical bleaching agents, which obscure the natural texture of the giant clam itself. Naturally occurring giant clams are never identical to one another. Giant Clam Care Instructions: (1) Giant clams are organic gem minerals, with their main component being calcium carbonate. Therefore, they should not be exposed to acid for extended periods. They require regular cleaning with clean water to maintain their luster. (2) Avoid direct sunlight exposure, as it can easily cause cracks. (3) Applying oil periodically can help protect the surface.
