Pyrite Ho Min Buddha (1112521)

A beautiful Pyrite Ho Min Buddha measuring 4.25" x 4"

Pyrite is a crystal of abundance and prosperity. It is often called Fool’s Gold though there is nothing foolish about this mineral. It gets to the heart of the matter by strengthening our resolve, intention and tenacity. With these inner qualities on our side there is nothing we cannot achieve.

The Ho Min Buddha in folklore is admired for his jovial attitude, plenitude, and wisdom of contentment. One belief popular in folklore maintains that rubbing his belly brings wealth, good luck, and prosperity. His figure appears throughout Chinese culture as a representation of both contentment and abundance. He is almost always shown smiling or laughing, hence his nickname in Chinese, the Laughing Buddha.

Please note that there is a chip on the back left hand side of the carving and this is reflected in the price.
