This little guy is carved from Tai Chi stone (also called Yin Yang stone), a striking black-and-white banded material long associated with balance, duality, and harmony — the literal light-and-dark of it makes the symbolism impossible to miss. Here it's shaped into a pocket-sized figurine, standing about 2.75" tall and weighing in at just 0.34 lb, small enough to perch on a desk, shelf, or altar without taking up real estate.
Tai Chi stone is worked with as a stone of equilibrium — pulling opposing energies (yin and yang, light and shadow, active and receptive) into cooperation rather than conflict. Keep it somewhere you need to hold two things at once: work and rest, giving and receiving, discipline and play. It's also just a genuinely charming little carving — the kind of piece that makes people smile and ask questions, which is its own kind of magick.
A fun, functional gift for the crystal collector, gamer, or anyone who likes their metaphysical tools with a sense of humor.
