Mottled Jade Bi Disc

Jades have been cherished for thousands of years, with their rich heritage, beauty, and rarity. Jade Bi discs, like this one, have been found in the tombs of ancient Chinese emperors and aristocrats, but no one knows their true meaning. Shaping this hard stone takes considerable skill. An artisan imbues the jade with this soft, satiny glow by patiently rubbing the surface with sand, a subtle beauty completely different from the polished gloss of machine-finished jades. This dark mottled disc is particularly striking in its custom mount.
