Jadeite "Qilin" Carving
中国雕刻品常常寄托着好运、兴旺等美好的愿望。 麒龙或麒麟是中国古代一种独角兽,龙头马身。 这只麒龙的身上有扇子、葫芦、拂尘、笛子、莲花、石榴和竹筒 — 它们都象征着好运与财富。


Tourmaline Carvings
In 1972, an immense pocket of superb tourmaline was uncovered in Maine, Dunton Quarry Mine, Newry Hill, USA. These high-quality crystals ranged in color from beautiful greens and rich pinks to piercing blues. From this material, master gem carver Gerhard Becker of Idar-Oberstein, Germany, created a series of miniature carvings of birds, mammals, and fish native to North America. This series of pieces is a gift of John Staver.
