Tridacna is the largest marine shell, with a diameter reaching up to 1.8m. The term 'Tridacna' originated in the Han Dynasty, named so because its outer surface has radial grooves resembling ancient cart tracks, hence called 'Chariot Trench'. Later, due to its stone-like hardness, the character for stone was added beside it. Tridacna, pearls, coral, and amber are known in the West as the four major organic gemstones; in Chinese Buddhism, it is revered as one of the seven treasures alongside gold, silver, lapis lazuli, agate, pearl, and amber. Functions • Tridacna provides a strong cooling sensation, and its trace elements can stabilize emotions, remove distractions, and eliminate annoyance
