A beautifully carved Buddha, sitting in meditation posture, elevated on top of a lotus flower. Buddha's right hand is in Vitarka Mudra, known as the gesture of teaching/sharing wisdom. The circle which is formed by the thumb and index finger symbolizes the constant flow of energy and information. The Vitarka Mudra is often considered as the mystic gesture of the Bodhisattvas, and is one of the most recognised Mudras in Buddhism.

The lotus flower is an iconic image in Buddhist tradition. It symbolises purity, growth and transcendence. In early Buddhist iconography, the lotus flower would also represent abundance and prosperity. Placing the Buddha on top of a lotus flower represents Buddha's spiritual perfection and purity, being the enlightened one.

ABOUT CLEAR QUARTZ

Clear Quartz is by far the most versatile and multidimensional stone. Some of its properties include energy amplification, cleansing, clearing and improving memory. A unique quality about this crystal is that it acts as an amplifier to other crystals, meaning it amplifies the properties of any other crystal that is used with it. Clear Quartz is also said to draw off negative energy, neutralize background radiation, stimulate the immune system, and bring the entire body back into balance.
