Description
Grade A green jade Buddha with good lustre and clarity. The green hue is saturated at the Buddha’s protruding belly, against a lighter green base. The colour of the jade is light and soothing, very pleasant to the eyes. Quality of the jadeite is also good with fine jade grains and good water content. There are no crack lines or any significant inclusion to note.
Certification for this jadeite Buddha, certified by Nan Yang Gemological Institute (http://www.ngi.com.sg/), a reputable and independent Singapore gem testing lab, is available upon request.
Jadeite is highly demanded and is exclusively sourced from Myanmar, formerly Burma, hence it is widely known as “Burmese Jade”. It is rich in heritage and widely believed to have spiritual meanings in the Chinese culture.
Laughing Buddha is known as Hotei among the Chinese and is considered very auspicious. His large protruding belly is symbolic of happiness, luck and prosperity. Wearing a green jade Laughing Buddha pendant is believed to protect the person who wears it.
