Believed to protect from fever, ward off storms and quench thirst, agate has been used as a talisman or amulet stone since ancient times. Jade, too, has long been revered for its aesthetic and as a symbol of all that is virtuous and precious. It has special significance in Asia, where it is associated with the Confucian qualities of wisdom, courage, empathy, justice and humility, as well as the concept of the female erotic. These unique treasures are created by a Pakistani family living in Chiang Mai.
