I’m going to talk about an extremely unique Lotus treasure today. But how unique is it?
Before touching on that, I’m going to share an interesting episode involving Qinan.
It took place before my employment at Lotus on Water. Two foreign “friends” or you can call them “businessmen”, came looking for Master Yun at the Lotus on Water Exquisite Gallery, saying that they have some Qinan for sale.
Qinan is exceptionally precious, many might not even have the opportunity to get a whiff of its fragrance all his life.
What happened was, these two friends took out a piece of Qinan the size of a nail and cautiously they held it in their hands while sniffing it—Qinan is very “soft” and precious—as if this is the last piece of nail-sized Qinan in this world. This reflected the Qinan’s preciousness and the friends’ attitude towards Qinan—how they see it as the supreme treasure of this world.
What happened next is rather interesting.
Master Yun took out a piece of Qinan pendant from the Exquisite Gallery’s safe. Yes, you are right, a pendant!
A Qinan pendant!

Real Qinan is tremendously rare, and everyone in this industry knows that even at Lotus on Water, we have limited quantities. In addition, you must fulfil two criteria before you have the chance to put on this supreme agarwood:
1. First of all, you have to be our VIP client. That is to say, you must have a piece of our Exquisite jadeite pendant; or a Heaven and Earth jadeite ring worth more than $18k; or the sandalwood or agarwood beads or pendant. You meet the first criterion if you own any one of the above items.
2. The second and also most criterion would be fate—your affinity with Master Yun. Master Yun must have a piece of Qinan pendant in possession before our VIP client can get his. Master Yun believes that Qinan gives him immense and limitless energy. In addition, the client must gain Master Yun’s approval before he is willing to let go of his piece of Qinan.
Simply put, even having the entire world’s wealth does not guarantee you a chance to have the Qinan.

Sinking Agarwood Guan Yin is high in resin and it’s so dense that it sinks in water.
When you place a huge log in the water, would it sink or float?
What about a small piece of wood, would it sink or float?
Regardless the size of a sinking agarwood pendant, it will immediately sink when put in water. (I’m talking about Lotus on Water’s sinking agarwood. You can give it a try, using your own piece of sinking agarwood of course.)
With the sinking agarwood pendant being this amazing, is there something better?
Yes!
The Qinan pendant!
The unique treasure that I’m speaking on today is this Purple Qinan with Golden Threads!

In actuality, the most powerful Qinan is the White Qinan, but a comparable piece currently available in our gallery is this Purple Qinan with Golden Threads!
Do you know why?
 |
| “Golden threads” on the Purple Qinan with Golden Threads! |
As the Purple Qinan with Golden Threads’ resin is much thicker and denser than that of the sinking agarwood, forming “golden threads”. This is not possible on just any piece sinking agarwood or Qinan.
Besides the “golden threads” resin, the complete rectangular shape and large size of this Purple Qinan with Golden Threads are very rare. It is going to be an amazing piece of Lotus treasure when set in gold!

Lastly, let’s talk about the phoenix carved on this Purple Qinan with Golden Threads!
There are three stages of a phoenix’s lifecycle:
1. Rising from the ashes
Once past its peak, a phoenix builds a nest with agarwood and self-immolates. From these ashes, a young phoenix rises.

2. Bowing to the sun
The phoenix flies towards the sun with the agarwood ashes in hand and offering it to the sun. Ancient Egyptian documents record that the rebirthed phoenix brings the agarwood ashes to Heliopolis (Sun City).
3. A hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix
During its peak, the phoenix enjoys the respect of all birds, ushering an era of prosperity and harmony.
And the cycle goes on…
