The listing, Two-tone Jade Kwan Yin has ended.
This lovely Kwan Yin is carved from a piece of white and green jade.
"Kuan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, is a manifestation of the Divine Mother and serves mankind in much the same way as Mother Mary. Many think of her as the Buddhist Madonna and Saviouress of the East. Her names are as numerous as those of Mother Mary and her title and office as a Goddess denotes her level of attainment as a Cosmic Being."

"Introduction to the Meaning and Uses of Jade
Jade is said to bless whatever it touches, serving mankind across the globe for nearly 6,000 years... Jade has been the most highly esteemed stone in China throughout recorded history, and was valued for its beauty and powers of healing and protection [Simmons, 210][Eason, 266, 268]
Jade is most valued for its metaphysical properties. It is the ultimate "Dream Stone," revered in ancient cultures, as well as today, to access the spiritual world, gain insight into ritualistic knowledge, encourage creativity, and dream-solve. [Melody, 341][Raphaell, 161] It is cherished as a protective talisman, assuring long life and a peaceful death, and is considered a powerful healing stone. [Mella, 87]
Great buy for Wiccans, Pagans, and anyone interested in the energies available from the Earth.
