Its main components are opal and cryptocrystalline quartz. It has an oily sheen, vibrant colors, and a partly translucent, warm luster, with variations of yellow, white, red, green, blue, purple, and gray. Combined with the artisans' skillful carving, it transforms into unique accessories. **The Significance of Alashan** Having endured billions of years of wind and sand, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, it is also known as "Sari of the Earth." As one of the seven treasures of Buddhism, it has been used as an amulet and a protective charm since ancient times, symbolizing friendly love and hope. It helps to dispel negative energies such as stress, fatigue, and turbidity. Since ancient times, it has been regarded as an auspicious item for peace and attracting wealth. Alashan is a mineral with a strong "personality," exhibiting immense variation even within its own family, regardless of color or pattern. Therefore, encountering an Alashan that appeals to you is a matter of luck and destiny. If you feel an immediate connection with it, please don't hesitate to bring it home! **Wearing and Care** - Strung with elastic cord for easy on and off, but please **avoid excessive pulling** and **do not swing your hand forcefully**. - Alashan is a relatively hard mineral; it's fine to wash your hands or get it wet. - If you find it comfortable to wear, you can wear it while bathing, sleeping, or working. - Maintenance is simple: rinse with clean water and dry. Avoid contact with or soaking in corrosive cleaning agents. - Please avoid prolonged exposure to high or low temperatures to prevent expansion and contraction of crystalline areas, which could lead to cracks. ✨The more beautiful, the more fragile; please embrace its natural beauty✨ While we strive for perfection in our craftsmanship, natural mineral materials may have slight variations in texture or minor imperfections. We kindly ask for your understanding before making a purchase.
