RARITY VISUALISED : MATTER / REFLECTIVNESS
Each Stonekeeper's "reflectiveness" indicates another part of its rarity, power and harmony with the Dao.
In Daoism, reflection is a metaphor for wisdom. To reflect is to become still, open and receptive - allowing reality's true nature to shine through us. The more deeply we reflect, the clearer we see the Dao.
Stonekeeper's faces, markings, armor and robes can resonate at three levels: awakening, luminous and transcendent.
Awakening Keepers earnestly seek wisdom but remain caught in dualities. Luminous Keepers have achieved oneness, reflecting existence without distorting it. Transcendent Keepers have become the reflection itself - embodiments of the Dao manifest in form.

Depending on how the Stonekeeper is used its elements can become more or less reflective and therfore potentially rarer over time.
