Abundance

This White Jade hand-carved dual platter Butterfly 203*27*185mm weighs 981g. It is a decorative and useful example of this beautiful stone from 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 The Butterfly’s metamorphosis is a message to release outdated beliefs, habits, or fears and to embrace new beginnings and higher self-awareness.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.

Jade is a traditional good luck stone, bringing wealth and abundance. Jade is used to refer to two different minerals, Nephrite and Jadeite. Some green stones, such as Aventurine, are also sometimes referred to as jade.

Nephrite is a calcium magnesium silicate. It rings like a bell when struck hard. It is commonly pale to dark green with yellowish hues. These hues can also be white, grey, brown, and black.
