Brief Description
"This ancient Chinese art of Liuli was discovered incidentally about 2500 years ago when Fan-Li, a well-known government official at the time, was making a King's Sword for his emperor. Ever since then, Liuli can only be owned and made for the royal families in China.
Liuli is very well known for its mix of colors and flow of light as it always seems very mystical in its nature.
Liuli Stone is similar in its chemical composition as Crystal and glass, but it is not as clear in its translucency. Its hardness is close to Jade.
The ancient way of making Liuli is being preserved until today. The mixture of colors are done naturally during the process, thus, no two Liuli are exactly the same in the flow of its colors.
The process of making Liuli is to heat up the Liuli stone in high temperature until it melts. Then the liquid is mixed with other natural ingredients and then poured into a mold. The natural ingredients added will cause some chemical transformation of Liuli and form its unique flow of color and light.
The bubbles inside the Liuli are naturally formed during the process. Collectors of Liuli especially appreciate these bubbles as they will reflect light and add to its beauty.
Liuli has become scarce in recent times which has greatly increased its value.
This Money Tree design depicts Chinese antique coins hanging on the tree with lucky birds flying around the tree.
Care of Liuli: Avoid scratching, hitting, or imposing force on Liuli. Avoid extreme heat or cold, or drastic temperature change. When put on a flat surface, use a fabric underneath the Liuli. Use only filtered water to cleanse the Liuli to keep its color and shine.
