The green, brown and cream bands fall in different patterns from piece to piece — \u003cstrong\u003enature's fingerprints, not flaws\u003c\/strong\u003e. What variation exists is \u003cstrong\u003ein the flow of each stone's own veining\u003c\/strong\u003e, laid down deep in the earth over ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach skull is \u003cstrong\u003ecarved entirely by hand\u003c\/strong\u003e from a single piece of jade, then polished to a smooth, mirror-like glow. The rounded cranium, the deep eye sockets, the nasal cavity, the cheekbones and the row of teeth are all cut with the same patient hand — nothing moulded, nothing cast. This piece measures about \u003cstrong\u003e2.2 × 1.6 × 1.5 inches and weighs 120–130 g\u003c\/strong\u003e, sized to rest in the palm of a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNamed for the Nine Dragon River in Fujian, China, Nine Dragon Jade is a green serpentine jade whose brown and cream veins wind through the stone like a river. Green jade has been treasured across cultures for millennia — the Aztecs and Maya valued it above gold, and the Māori of Aotearoa prized greenstone (pounamu) as a sacred heirloom. Today it is \u003cstrong\u003eassociated with steady resolve, endurance and inner calm\u003c\/strong\u003e. For spiritual reference only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Echo Crystal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182890856599,"sku":null,"price":49.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/5359\/5031\/files\/45_1448b683-d43f-45e0-b8fb-2ae4dcaa2a82.jpg?v=1788143859","url":"https:\/\/www.echo-crystal.com\/products\/2-2-nine-dragon-jade-crystal-skull","provider":"Echo Crystal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
