| Gather wealth and energy | Citrine/Emerald | Citrine contains iron elements to enhance the energy field, and the crystalline structure of jade is conducive to the aura circulation. |
| Restrain homes and ward off evil spirits | Obsidian/Bronze | Obsidian's volcanic glass structure can absorb negative energy, and the copper conductivity is strong and the magnetic field is stable. |
| Add value for favorites | Hetian jade/Jade | High-quality jade adds 15-20% annually, and resource scarcity determines long-term value |
| Daily wear | Citrine/Obsidine | Light weight (2-3g/cm³), moderate hardness, suitable for long-term contact with the skin |

5. Expert advice
Professor Wang, an expert in jade artifacts at the Palace Museum, pointed out: "The five elements balance should be considered when choosing Pixiu material. Metallic people are suitable for copper, wood properties should choose jadeite, water properties should be suitable for obsidian, fire properties should be recommended for citrine, and earth properties should be the best choice for Hetian jade." At the same time, consumers are reminded that the new synthetic materials (such as nanocomposite jade) appearing in the market in 2023 have not yet been verified for long-term effects, so it is recommended to buy them with caution.
Through the above analysis, it can be seen that there is no absolutely "best" Pixiu material, and the key is to choose the most suitable one according to personal needs. It is recommended that collectors give priority to natural jade. Those with limited budgets can choose high-quality copper products. Young people who pursue fashion may wish to try crystal styles with a strong sense of design.
