Description:
This handsome stone with its tiger-eye look is capped with a carving of a dragon in action, breathing fire and smoke. The prevailing color of this seal is a rich gold. Lush swirls of varying shades of ochre seem magically to float on a dark gray marble surface. The rounded form of the dragon as it seamlessly emerges from the swirling yellow color is a fitting complement to the seal’s appearance.
Symbolic Meaning:
The dragon is a fairytale creature of vast significance in Chinese culture, often associated with the male spirit[yang], vigor, power, regeneration, fertility, and luck. Dragons often function as guardians and much more. The pearl is believed to ward off evil spirits.
