Cultural and symbolic context

The Heart Sutra is a Buddhist scripture with living religious and philosophical significance. This commercial display object is not presented as an authorised ritual object, a substitute for Buddhist teaching or evidence of a particular lineage. Black Obsidian is associated in contemporary crystal traditions with reflection, grounding and personal boundaries. Those associations are symbolic and do not establish cleansing, protection, healing or another physical effect.

Care and safety

Display on a stable stand or surface and protect the sphere from rolling, impact, heat and sudden temperature change. Wipe with a soft cloth. Do not ingest, create dust or use the object to prepare drinking water.
