The most iconographically loaded sword in the collection — Quan Yin and the dragon together, which in the traditions they come from is a pairing of mercy and power rather than an opposition. Fourteen inches, laser-engraved, on a one-inch handle. The flame carries ruby zoisite, known to mineralogists as anyolite: an opaque green zoisite shot through with red ruby crystals, quarried almost entirely in Tanzania. The contrast is the point — the two minerals grew together in the same rock.
What is in the handle
Every sword Tom makes is built the same way: over four hundred crushed power crystals, seven meteorites, sacred volcanic material, waters gathered from Kailash to Antarctica, eighteen star elixirs and seven planetary elixirs — bound in selenite and sealed inside the handle. Once it is wrapped, none of it is visible again. More about how they are made.
Before you buy. Selenite is water-soluble and soft — softer than a fingernail in places. It does not want damp cloths, direct sun or a hot car. Please read care and handling first; it takes two minutes and it is the difference between a piece that lasts and one that does not.
