A fine Chicken Blood Stone is best left uncarved, to be used either as a seal or as an ornament, which is why she just said that a beautiful rosewood stand for display would be more than sufficient.
Why is that?
It can be said that any Chicken Blood Stone that has been carved generally covers up its flaws, which makes it less valuable, so how could one consider carving such a fine specimen into a Blood Guanyin?
Not to mention that fine Chicken Blood Stones are best left uncarved, but even if one were to carve Guanyin, who would use a Chicken Blood Stone for that? Wouldn't that create a "Blood Guanyin"?
"You don't know, Madam from Prefect Li's Family is a devout Buddhist, she worships Buddha and prays to Guanyin daily, and it's said that she has as many as five Guanyin statues. I was merely trying to cater to her preferences, but to think, they at Hundred Treasures Silver Building, ruined this stone!" Merchant Liu said with regret.
