AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Pi Disc, also known as Bi Disc (璧) in Chinese tradition, is a sacred form representing the sky, the universe, and the infinite cycle of life. Used for thousands of years in rituals and spiritual practices, this artifact has traversed eras and cultures, remaining a symbol of protection, balance, and connection with cosmic energy.
Made from natural onyx, this Pi Disc expresses the full power of the stone and the depth of its symbolism. Onyx, a stone associated with stability and protection, enhances the spiritual qualities of the disc, making it a perfect object for meditation, decoration, or collection.
The Pi Disc is an artifact dating back to the Liangzhu civilization (around 3400-2250 B.C.) and has maintained a central role in Chinese culture for millennia. Traditionally carved in jade, its circular design with a central hole represents:
The Sky and the Universe, with the hole as a point of connection between man and the cosmos.
The balance between Yin and Yang, the cycle of life, and spiritual continuity.
A protective talisman used in rituals to ensure blessings and harmony.
A symbol of nobility and power, worn or kept by the elites of ancient China.
In Feng Shui philosophy, the Pi Disc is a powerful channeler of energy, used to attract balance and serenity into living spaces.
Onyx is a stone with deep protective and stabilizing qualities. It is associated with grounding, inner strength, and resistance against negative energies. The onyx used in this Pi Disc stands out for its particular milky hue, enriched by translucent veins and reddish accents due to the presence of iron oxides, which enhance its uniqueness and natural charm.
