Rock Crystal - Chrysanthemum Dragon - 117.45ct

$3,500.00

The Chrysanthemum Dragon is to me a talisman of good fortune and favor from heaven. I had in mind a meditation piece, something that would serve as a focus for one's thoughts and to still one’s mind. The image I have tried to portray is that of viewing a passing celestial dragon through a narrow crystalline portal and above the silvery scales can be seen a number of chrysanthemum flowers falling from heaven.

One thing I like to do with my carvings is to incorporate numbers and sequences as I find those an aid to meditation. One of my favorite is the phi ratio, also known as the Golden Ratio. This is a very particular ratio that is found all through nature, in the realms of fractals and the celestial. Here I have embedded it into the chrysanthemum flowers. There are five eight-petaled flowers, three of which are displayed on the main central panel and two smaller flowers on the side panels, one on the left and one on the right. And there you have the start of the phi ratio: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8… and here the mind can effortlessly expand and spiral outwards or inwards as your meditation takes you.

The stone I have chosen is a flawless piece of rock crystal quartz. This humble material is perhaps the grandest and oldest of all stones with which humans have had a relationship, often having a special place of significance in virtually every culture and civilization around the world.
