RARE Hand Carved Rose Quartz Buddha

RARE Hand Carved Rose Quartz Buddha Carving – Brazil
Expertly carved Buddha in deep, soothing pink Rose Quartz for peace and protection - 397g - approx 12 x 7.5 x 4cm

This is a substantial, exquisitely carved Buddha figure from Brazil, sculpted from a beautiful, clear piece of deep-pink Rose Quartz. The carving depicts the Buddha seated in meditation, with the right hand raised in the Abhaya Mudra (the Gesture of Fearlessness), which symbolises protection, peace, and reassurance. The details of the robes, serene face, and lotus base are smoothly rendered, highlighting the stone's translucent quality and soft colour.

Rose Quartz carvings like this are made entirely by hand using traditional lapidary methods that prioritise patience and material understanding over speed. The process begins with carefully selecting carving-grade Rose Quartz with even colour and good structural stability, as many pieces contain internal stress lines that only reveal themselves once cutting begins. The stone is slowly shaped using diamond tools and constant cooling to prevent heat fractures, followed by detailed hand carving that works with soft curves and balanced proportions rather than forcing sharp edges the stone cannot hold. Multiple stages of sanding and careful polishing are then used to enhance the stone’s natural translucency without creating a glassy or artificial finish. Depending on size and complexity, a single Rose Quartz carving can take around forty to eighty hours to complete. This work relies on traditional skills passed down through generations of artisans, and as fewer younger carvers learn these slower techniques and many master carvers retire, finely made Rose Quartz figurative carvings are becoming increasingly rare.

I selected this piece for the exceptional quality of the carving combined with the comforting energy of the crystal. Rose Quartz is universally known as the stone of unconditional love, compassion, and deep emotional healing. When combined with the Abhaya Mudra, the piece becomes a powerful focal point for inviting calm, self-love, and protection into any space. It’s a perfect addition to a meditation area or a calming display where its presence can gently radiate warmth and security.
