Warm orange carnelian is carved and polished into the shape of a yuanbao, the boat shaped gold ingot used as money in imperial China. It measures about 28 by 40 millimeters and 21 millimeters thick.

Place it on a desk, cash register or altar as a prosperity symbol, tuck it into a red envelope, or give it for Chinese New Year, a new job or a business opening. Its smooth, rounded shape also works as a pocket worry stone.
