The Invitation:
Or the Vermilion Bird: Zhuque or Suzaku
The symbols of royalty and rebirth are interesting and appear to be universal.
And, staying at residence in Carnelian? A Hotel in Muscat, Oman? Carnelian Bay, California? A Private Residence?
Where the heck is Carnelian?
Carnelian is a semiprecious stone. If you believe in the power of crystals, then Carnelian is a stabilising stone which restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices, dispels apathy and motivates for success. Carnelian is useful for overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions.
Matthews Crest:
- Golden Lion - Rampant Gules on shield.
Plate Armour Helm above shield.
Various Background shield colours.
Various buntings around shield.
Whatever the case, the seal is fascinating and beautiful.
Since things are slow in the shop I decide to get my hands on a large Carnelian stone and carve it to make a copy of the stamp crest. I'll give it to Ms. Chan as a gift for her hospitality.
But... What is it about this invitation? The more I handle it, the less it feels like a portal.
Yet... It feels more, real? More substantial?
