Spirituality is served

This large Chocolate Calcite hand-carved Butterfly dual platter 205*30*184mm weighs1076g. It was created by Lawrence Riaz of Lawrence Handicrafts. He hand-crafted this spectacular butterfly carving from the beautiful Chocolate Calcite found only in Pakistan.

Across cultures and spiritual traditions, the Butterfly symbolises hope, rebirth, renewal, transformation, and the soul’s journey.

The butterfly’s metamorphosis — from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis, and finally a winged adult—is a compelling metaphor for personal growth and change. The Butterfly’s metamorphosis is a message to release outdated beliefs, habits, or fears and to embrace new beginnings and higher self-awareness. It reminds us that growth often requires courage, and patience.

Chocolate Calcite is a beautiful and rarer brown Calcite variety found in Pakistan and Mexico. What makes Chocolate Calcite distinctive is its stripes and bands of lighter and darker browns running across its surface. Its crystalline structure showing through adds another layer of beauty to this wonderful stone.

The deep brown chocolate tones provide a strong connection to Mother Earth. This gives Chocolate Calcite a profound capacity to provide grounding and emotional stability. This capacity then further encourages perseverance and alignment with your core values.
