Aquamarine Bracelet × Traditional Chinese Wisdom of "The Highest Good is Like Water"

Aquamarine is as clear as autumn water, subtly corresponding to the supreme state of "The highest good is like water" from the Tao Te Ching. Its crystal structure forms hexagonal columns, which align with the numerical mystery of "Heaven gives birth to water" from the I Ching.
