AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Chinese chicken-blood stone — *Ji Xue Shi* — is a stone of strong feeling. Its name alone speaks of passion: veins of cinnabar red running through pale stone, the colour of life itself. For centuries it was carved into imperial seals and scholar's treasures, and it was always said the best red was the one that looked alive.
This piece is cut in the shape of the heart — a heart of that legendary red.
Golden threads run through the deep crimson surface like veins of light, swirling and meeting as they cross the polished face. The heart form is unmistakable: broad at the top, curving down to a gentle point, as if the mountain itself had shaped it for a purpose.
It stands on a dark, hand-carved wooden base with traditional floral detail, at home in a scholar's study, a living room cabinet, or a collector's display of Chinese ornamental stone.
In Chinese tradition, red is the colour of joy, vitality and protection. A heart of chicken-blood stone brings all three together — a token of good fortune, and of affection.
>
> *"The mountain gave its heart. It only asks to be loved."*
A distinctive gift for lovers of Chinese culture, mineral collectors, or anyone who believes some stones are born with feeling.
