Natural Type A High Icy Jadeite Dragon Pendant | Translucent Blue-Green Imperial Gourd Carving (219.83g, 77.0mm, Includes Wooden Stand)

An extraordinary fusion of fine natural jadeite, masterful carving and powerful Chinese auspicious symbolism, this substantial Natural Type A High Icy Jadeite Dragon Pendant features a majestic dragon incorporated with the highly auspicious gourd (葫芦 / Hulu) motif.

Weighing an impressive 219.83g and measuring approximately 77.0mm, this is far beyond the scale of an ordinary jadeite pendant. Its substantial proportions allow the natural blue-green colour, high-icy translucency and three-dimensional carving to command attention, whether worn ceremonially, displayed as a collector's piece, or presented on its accompanying wooden stand.

The combination of Dragon 龙 + Gourd 葫芦 + High Icy Jadeite creates a piece rich in symbolism for authority, prosperity, protection, health, longevity and the gathering of good fortune.

✦ Type A Jadeite — Natural Beauty Preserved

Type A Jadeite (天然A货翡翠) represents natural jadeite that has not undergone polymer impregnation or artificial colour dyeing. Traditional surface waxing following polishing may be acceptable within the Type A classification.

For serious jadeite collectors, Type A status is particularly important because it means the stone's fundamental colour and structure have not been artificially altered through treatments associated with Type B or Type C jadeite.

When purchasing a significant jadeite carving, independent gemological certification should always be used to support treatment status and gemstone identification.

✦ High Icy Jadeite — 高冰种

One of the most captivating characteristics of this piece is its High Icy (高冰种) appearance.

In the jadeite trade, “icy” terminology describes jadeite displaying attractive translucency together with a relatively fine, clean-looking texture. High Icy material can transmit and diffuse light beautifully, creating the luminous, almost water-like appearance highly appreciated by jadeite collectors.

The translucent blue-green coloration adds further visual depth. Under changing illumination, different portions of the carving can reveal variations in saturation, translucency and internal texture, emphasizing the natural character of the jadeite.

High-quality carving becomes especially important with translucent material, as the craftsman must consider not only the external form but also how colour, thickness and transmitted light interact throughout the finished piece.

✦ Dragon 龙 — Authority, Success & Auspicious Power

The Dragon 龙 is among the most powerful and revered symbols in Chinese culture.

Unlike the destructive dragon imagery sometimes encountered in Western traditions, the Chinese dragon traditionally represents auspicious power, authority, wisdom, success and command over opportunity.

It has historically been closely connected with imperial authority, which makes dragon jadeite particularly meaningful for those seeking symbolism associated with:

Leadership • Authority • Career Advancement • Business Success • Confidence • Recognition • Benefactor Luck 贵人运

For entrepreneurs, executives and individuals in positions of responsibility, the dragon represents the ability to rise above challenges, command respect and seize opportunities when they appear.

✦ Imperial Gourd 葫芦 — Gathering Fortune & Protecting Well-Being

The Hulu 葫芦, or Chinese gourd, is one of Feng Shui's most enduring auspicious symbols.

Its traditional hourglass-like shape is interpreted as having the ability to receive and contain beneficial Qi, while preventing good fortune from easily dispersing.

The gourd is strongly associated with:

福 — Blessings
禄 — Prosperity & Status
寿 — Longevity

Historically, gourds were also associated with physicians and Taoist immortals and consequently became symbols of health, longevity, protection and the transformation of negative influences.

The character 葫芦 (Hulu) also carries auspicious cultural associations with 福禄 (Fu Lu)—blessings and prosperity.

✦ Dragon + Gourd — 龙葫聚福

The combination of the Dragon and Gourd creates especially rich Feng Shui symbolism.

The Dragon represents power, movement and achievement, while the Gourd represents gathering, preserving and protecting blessings.

Symbolically, their combination can be interpreted as:

Rise with Power → Attract Opportunity → Gather Prosperity → Preserve Good Fortune

Rather than simply attracting wealth, the imagery expresses the desire to build success while protecting what has already been accumulated.

This makes the piece particularly meaningful for established business owners, entrepreneurs and families seeking both continued advancement and long-term stability.

✦ Blue-Green Jadeite — Wood & Water Symbolism

The beautiful blue-green character creates an interesting Five Element interpretation.

Green is principally associated with Wood 木, representing:

Growth • Expansion • Vitality • Development • Prosperity

Blue is traditionally associated with Water 水, representing:

Wisdom • Opportunity • Communication • Adaptability • Wealth Flow

This combination is particularly auspicious within the Five Element productive cycle because:

Water generates Wood — 水生木

Water nourishes Wood, allowing it to grow.

Symbolically, this can represent opportunities and wisdom feeding growth and prosperity—an especially meaningful combination for business development, career advancement and long-term wealth creation.

For individualized Feng Shui use, however, whether Water or Wood is beneficial should ideally be determined through a complete BaZi 八字 analysis rather than zodiac year alone.

✦ An Impressive 219.83g Collector's Statement

At approximately 219.83 grams, this is an exceptionally substantial jadeite carving.

Its impressive weight and approximately 77.0mm size give the dragon and gourd sufficient volume for pronounced three-dimensional sculptural detail while providing a broad area through which the translucency and colour of the jadeite can be appreciated.

The size also gives the piece versatility.

It may be appreciated as a large statement pendant, but when placed upon its included wooden display stand, it transforms into an elegant Feng Shui ornament and collector's display piece.

This dual functionality makes it particularly attractive for collectors who wish to enjoy fine jadeite both as jewellery and as art.

✦ Feng Shui Placement

When displayed on its wooden stand, the carving can be placed in a study, office, reception area, private collection cabinet or business environment.

The Dragon symbolism makes it especially appropriate for spaces associated with leadership, business decisions and career development, while the Gourd introduces symbolism of protection, harmony and preservation of blessings.

For advanced Feng Shui practice, the ideal placement should be determined according to the property's orientation, Flying Stars (玄空飞星), annual energies and the owner's BaZi rather than using a universal compass direction for everyone.

✦ Who Is This Piece Suitable For?

This exceptional jadeite carving carries particularly meaningful symbolism for those seeking:

✓ Wealth & Prosperity
✓ Business Growth & Expansion
✓ Leadership & Authority
✓ Career Advancement
✓ Benefactor Luck 贵人运
✓ Protection & Peace 平安
✓ Health & Longevity Symbolism
✓ Preservation of Wealth & Blessings
✓ Family Prosperity
✓ Long-Term Success

It makes an especially significant piece for entrepreneurs, executives, senior professionals, business owners, jadeite collectors and individuals entering an important new stage of life or career.

It can also make an auspicious gift for a business opening, promotion, milestone birthday or important achievement.

✦ Gemological Note

Natural jadeite can display colour zoning, mineral inclusions, grain structures, stone lines and variations in translucency resulting from its geological formation. These natural characteristics should not automatically be interpreted as defects.

Commercial jadeite quality and value are determined by a combination of colour, translucency, texture, structural integrity, dimensions, thickness, craftsmanship and treatment status. Weight alone does not establish quality or market value.

Terms such as “High Icy / 高冰种” are jadeite trade-quality descriptions rather than standardized laboratory grades. Where authenticity or treatment status is material to the purchase, the accompanying independent gemological certificate should take precedence over descriptive terminology.

✦ Feng Shui Disclaimer

Feng Shui and metaphysical properties described above are based on traditional Chinese cultural beliefs and symbolism. They are intended for cultural, spiritual and personal-interest purposes and should not be interpreted as scientifically proven medical, financial or therapeutic effects.
