Lapis Malachite Crystal Thangka Bracelet with Green Tara Charm

1. Material and Craftsmanship: Cultural Significance

• Lapis Lazuli & Malachite
Lapis Lazuli symbolizes wisdom and truth. Its deep blue base speckled with golden pyrite is often called the "Stone of the Sky." In Tibetan Buddhism, it is commonly used to paint Buddha robes or mandala backdrops. Malachite, with its vibrant green striations, represents vitality, transformation, and protection—believed to dispel negative energy. Together, they embody the union of Heaven and Earth: lapis for spiritual ascension, malachite for the life force of nature.
In traditional craftsmanship, both stones are ground into powder and mixed with hide glue to form mineral pigments for thangka painting or inlaying Ghau boxes.

• Crystal
Presumed to be clear quartz in this piece, the crystal signifies purity and energetic balance. It is often embedded in Ghau boxes as a transparent protective layer—both revealing the inner thangka and amplifying the energy field through crystal refraction.

• Sterling Silver Ghau Box
In Tibetan culture, silver symbolizes purity and protection. Its malleability makes it ideal for engraving intricate motifs such as the Vajra Cross or the Eight Auspicious Symbols. The Ghau box typically uses a dual-layer structure, incorporating a transparent acrylic or crystal cover to seal and display the thangka. Premium editions are also adorned with turquoise, forming a closed loop of elemental energy: gold, silver, blue, and green.

• Hand-Painted Green Tara Buddha Eye Thangka
Green Tara, born from Avalokiteshvara’s compassionate tears, is revered as the female Bodhisattva of healing and wisdom. The Buddha eye motif originates from the all-seeing towers of Samye Monastery, symbolizing insight that dispels ignorance and perceives suffering.
The thangka is painted with mineral pigments. The pupils are outlined in gold leaf and rendered using a fine gradient blending technique—each stroke made with hairline brushes to convey Tara’s compassionate gaze in a lifelike manner.

2. Design Highlights and Energy Structure

• Double-Ring Energy Field
The dual-ring design echoes the Tibetan Buddhist concept of "union of worldly and transcendent realms":

• Outer Ring (Lapis Lazuli + Malachite):
  Lapis aligns with the crown chakra (wisdom), while malachite resonates with the heart chakra (compassion), balancing intellect and emotion.

• Inner Ring (Sterling Silver Ghau + Green Tara Thangka):
  The silver Ghau houses the sacred Buddha Eye, forming the energetic core of protection, while the crystal layer functions as an amplifier of benevolent energy.

This nested architecture creates a layered energetic shield: repelling negativity from the outside and concentrating positive force within.

• Fine Craftsmanship Details

• Thangka Painting:
  Tara’s left hand forms the Mudra of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), while the right holds an Utpala (blue lotus). The petals are painted using overlapping layers of malachite green and lapis blue for a three-dimensional effect through pigment layering.

• Ghau Engraving:
  The back of the box often features the Vajra Cross (cutting through delusion) or the Eight Auspicious Symbols (e.g., Treasure Vase, Dharma Wheel). High-end versions may include embedded mantra seed syllables to enhance spiritual potency.

3. Key Benefits and Wearing Scenarios

• Feminine Protection
Green Tara, as a feminine deity, is believed to aid in emotional healing and family harmony. The double-ring design enhances:

• Lapis Lazuli: Boosts decision-making clarity—ideal for professional women.

• Malachite: Balances emotional fluctuations—beneficial for postpartum recovery.

• Sterling Silver: Grounds and stabilizes the aura.

• Energy Purification & Prosperity
Lapis attracts benefactors and opportunities (windfall fortune), while malachite enhances wealth circulation (steady income). Tara’s all-seeing eye symbolizes discernment and opportunity recognition.
For business use, it’s recommended to wear the Ghau outward-facing to manifest abundance.

• Daily Wearing Tips

• Left Wrist: To absorb Tara’s compassion (ideally worn between 7–9 AM).

• Right Wrist: To release tension (especially in the evening while chanting the Six-Syllable Mantra).

• Avoid: Contact with perfume or sweat, as mineral pigments may oxidize with acidity. Use Tibetan incense to purify the piece on each lunar first day.

4. Authenticity & Collectible Value

• Identification Tips

• Thangka: Genuine pieces show texture and depth; under magnification, brushstroke breaks should be visible in the gold-lined pupils (prints have smooth, uninterrupted lines).

• Ghau Box: Sterling silver should be stamped “925” on the interior. Machine-engraved patterns appear uniform, whereas hand-chased designs show natural variation in depth.

• Price Range

• Entry-Level: Single-ring with 1.5cm Ghau box

• High-End: Double-ring with embedded mantra scrolls and thangka hand-painted by a Rebgong (Tongren) artist.

Conclusion

This piece exemplifies the pinnacle of Tibetan aesthetics and contemporary spiritual jewelry design. The “color symphony” of lapis and malachite, the precision of sterling silver craftsmanship, and the sacred gaze of Green Tara collectively form a portable micro-mandala.
With proper care and ritual practice, this piece not only becomes a sacred talisman but also a daily companion in cultivating mindfulness, grace, and inner strength.

Our Founder

When I was young, I came across an article about Tibet, and that was the starting point for me to know about Tibet.

The fascinating the snow-covered plateau, the distressing poor Tibetan life, and the devout faith of Tibetans make myself yearn for the pure and full spiritual power of the plateau.

And so, the adventure begins

Over the past four years, I have traveled to my dream serendipity Tibet numerous times. During one spiritual journeys after another, not only did I see picturesque scenery, kind Tibetans, sacred temples, but also found my deepest self. By chance, an esteemed senior gave me a Tibetan name representing Lotus - Pema. I would like to introduce myself thereafter. My love for Tibet transcends the place where I was born and any city I live in.I poured my love for Tibet into an online website dedicated to supporting Tibetan artists and the poor in the region.

We appreciate that you are a part of this path of good karma.
