Green Tara Statue - Lepidolite Stone (27cm)

A luminous expression of compassion, protection, and enlightened action, this Green Tara sculpture is carved from naturally formed rainbow fluorite, revealing a beautiful interplay of translucent green, purple, violet, and subtle tonal variations throughout the stone. The naturally occurring bands of colour create an almost ethereal quality, allowing the character of the fluorite to become an integral part of Tara’s sacred form.

Green Tara is revered in Buddhist tradition as a compassionate female Buddha who offers protection, guidance, and swift assistance to those in need. Seated in a posture of poised readiness, she embodies both serenity and active compassion — representing the courage to respond to suffering with wisdom, kindness, and decisive action.

The intricate carving is beautifully complemented by the natural layers and translucent qualities of rainbow fluorite. Rather than being uniform, each area of the stone reveals its own colour, depth, and crystalline character, making the sculpture a unique meeting of natural mineral beauty and traditional craftsmanship.

Traditionally associated with clarity, balance, focus, and cleansing, fluorite adds a sense of harmony and quiet luminosity to the sculpture. Together with Green Tara’s symbolism, the piece represents compassion, protection, wisdom, inner clarity, and peaceful strength.

ABOUT RAINBOW FLUORITE

Rainbow fluorite is a naturally occurring variety of fluorite distinguished by its striking combination of colours, often displaying bands and transitions of green, purple, violet, blue, and translucent tones. These colours are created naturally within the crystal and can vary significantly from one piece to another.

With a Mohs hardness of 4, fluorite is relatively soft and requires careful handling. Its crystalline structure, natural inclusions, colour zoning, and variations in translucency give every piece a distinctive character. When carved into sculpture, these natural features can create subtle changes in colour and light across the form.

Fluorite has traditionally been associated with clarity, focus, balance, and energetic cleansing. Rainbow fluorite, with its varied spectrum of natural colours, is often appreciated for its harmonious and uplifting visual character. Paired with Green Tara, the stone’s natural beauty complements her associations with compassion, wisdom, protection, and enlightened action.

ABOUT GREEN TARA

Green Tara is one of the most beloved figures in Tibetan Buddhism and is regarded as a compassionate protector and guide. She is traditionally associated with freedom from fear, obstacles, and suffering, while representing active compassion and the courage to help others.

Her green colour symbolises active compassion, vitality, and enlightened action. Green Tara is traditionally portrayed in a posture of readiness, with one leg extended as though prepared to rise, symbolising her willingness to respond swiftly to those who call upon her.

Her peaceful expression and graceful presence convey a balance between stillness and action — a reminder that true compassion is not passive, but ready to respond with wisdom and courage.

A meaningful addition to a meditation space, personal altar, or spiritual collection, this sculpture offers a graceful reminder to cultivate compassion, clarity, courage, and an openness to the needs of others.

ABOUT THE ARTIST – RAM KUMAR

Born on August 14, 1964, in Jaipur, Rajasthan, Ram Kumar began his artistic training in 1975 under the guidance of his mentor and father, Shree Chotey Lal Kumawat, at just ten years of age. Following a decade of rigorous traditional training, he established his own workshop in 1986.

Over the past four decades, Ram Kumar has developed a distinctive body of work centred on finely carved sculptures created from high-grade semi-precious gemstones and natural crystals. His repertoire includes intricately carved representations of Indian deities such as Ganesha, Buddhist figures including Buddha and Tara, and a range of traditional decorative forms.

Working with precision diamond tools, Kumar transforms natural gemstones into highly detailed sculptures, allowing the natural character, colour, and structure of each stone to remain an integral part of the finished work. Inspired by Indian culture and heritage, selected pieces are further enhanced through gold leaf painting or colourful gemstone inlay.

His materials include ruby, emerald, sapphire, rose quartz, lapis lazuli, tiger eye, and other natural stones, each chosen for its individual beauty and symbolic significance.
