Rose Quartz - Koi - 49.63ct
According to Chinese and Japanese legend, a koi (carp) succeeds in leaping up a waterfall and turns in a dragon. This can be seen as an encouragement to have faith and confidence in one's abilities and to strive against all odds and adversities and in doing so you may just succeed! The koi also symbolises prosperity, luck and good fortune. They are known for their strength and ability to swim against the currents upstream and over waterfalls to reach their destination. Perhaps this tenacity and perseverance is what makes them so revered.
In Japanese, koi has a homonym that means love. That's kind of fitting given that I've really fallen for the beautiful soft pink glow of rose quartz. There is just something about it, the soft gentleness and peaceful spirit of the stone, the smooth tactile feel. It's calming and fortifying, unassuming and everlasting.
The reverse of the carving is a closeup representation the koi's scales (or could it be the dragon's that it might become).
