Auspicious Huge Carnelian & Gold Plated Dragon Pendant on OG Monet Chain

What a piece! Giant slab of liquid smooth mandarin carnelian that truly demonstrates the majesty of this stone. "Pledges of Blessing" a poem by Goethe from his work, West-Eastern Diwan, Book of the Singer: I do not have enough room to include this poem :( The English and French royal courts of the 18th century used a symbolic "gem language" to convey messages discreetly. The first letters of the gems set in brooches and other jewelry pieces conveyed a motto or sentiment. Thus, with the correct acrostic placement, wearing a carnelian brooch to dinner could mean you wish everyone "Good Luck." The Arab peoples consider the carnelian one of the stones of kings. The stone's rich, warm color often links it to projective, proactive energies associated with lions and fire. Traditionally, the stone lends courage to those in need and helps with public speaking. It would certainly benefit a king to speak like a lion, boldly roaring, and with fiery passion. On a 24 inch gold plated signed Monet brick chain with the Patented Monet Clasp.
