This proud Mangano Calcite hand-carved lion was artfully crafted by Lawrence Riaz., from local stone he sourced in Pakistan. It weighs 1189. He stands 90mm tall at his shoulders and is 60 mm broad there. He is 185 mm long. This is a large statement piece that glows hot pink in UV light.
The lion is a Buddhist symbol, representing the lion's roar power of the Buddha's teachings and the Buddha's early life as a royal. The symbolism of the lion and the inner-peace bringing properties of Mangano will encourage a process of spiritual self-discovery and finding your authentic self.
Mangano is a calcium carbonate mineral containing a minimum of 30 per cent manganese carbonate. The calcium and manganese carbonates can be banded. The presence of manganese makes Mangano Calcite react to ultraviolet light, giving it a bright hot-pink glow.
