Langgan

Langgan (Chinese: 琅玕; pinyin: lánggān) is the ancient Chinese name of a gemstone which remains an enigma in the history of mineralogy; it has been identified, variously, as blue-green malachite, blue coral, white coral, whitish chalcedony, red spinel, and red jade. It is also the name of a mythological langgan tree of immortality found in the western paradise of Kunlun Mountain, and the name of the classic waidan alchemical elixir of immortality 琅玕華丹; langgan huadan; "Elixir Efflorescence of Langgan".
