天然水晶雕弥勒佛

“A meticulously carved Maitreya Buddha from natural rock crystal, not glass. The crystal is completely pure, devoid of any impurities or stone patterns, only identifiable as natural under high magnification. The crystal radiates a brilliant, sparkling light under illumination. The Maitreya Buddha, with hands resting on knees, chest and belly exposed, sits in a full-lotus position, always smiling with eyebrows curved like crescent moons, embodying a serene and joyous demeanor. The facial features are typical of the mid-Qing dynasty style. Historically, crystal was known as ‘water jade’ or ‘aquamarine’, with such flawless pieces being exceedingly precious. In Buddhist texts, crystal is listed as one of the four great treasures, believed to have the power to save all beings and ward off evil. The statue measures approximately 8 cm in height, 8 cm in width at the base, and weighs around 190 grams.”
