Hardness matters enormously once fine detail is involved. Quartz sits at 7 on the Mohs scale, hard enough that scales, claws, and other small carved features hold their sharpness through years of handling, whereas a softer material like calcite scratches easily and gradually loses definition. That durability is part of why quartz has been worked into ritual and decorative objects since the Han dynasty in China, prized for both clarity and toughness. The dragon itself is traditionally read as a symbol of \u003cstrong\u003epower\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003egood luck\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ewisdom\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003ewealth\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA closer look\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAAAA grade with no visible inclusions means the original rough had to be completely flawless, since a carver working fine detail into quartz cannot hide or work around an internal crack the way a simpler polished shape might. That requirement alone eliminates most rough material before carving even begins, which is part of why detailed dragon carvings command a considerable premium over plain spheres or points of similar size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear quartz, hand carved, AAAA grade, no inclusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dragon carving, Chinese and Japanese design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 37mm x 38mm x 35mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 64g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLiving with your quartz dragon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA carving of this quality suits a shelf, a desk, or a spot chosen deliberately within a feng shui layout.
