Thangka Heian Tile Cross Vajra Necklace

In Buddhist culture, the Vajra (crossed thunderbolt) symbolizes absolute concentration and represents unwavering mental strength. It is believed to assist the wearer in maintaining firm beliefs and a clear mind when faced with various temptations and difficulties in daily life.

The Vajra Cross represents the four great elements of the universe, namely earth, water, fire, and wind, symbolizing balance and harmony. It is also regarded as the stable framework and axis of the universe, serving as the "Vajra Cross" that supports the order of the world, embodying the understanding of the cosmic structure in Buddhism.

About the material

The base material of the necklace is made from high-quality ebony. The scientific name of ebony is East African blackwood (Diospyros crassiflora), and it is praised as the "king's wood." The wood is hard, with an air-dry density reaching 1.25 to 1.33 g/cm³, making it one of the heaviest and hardest woods currently available.

The wood grain is uniform and dense, with most of it being straight. The heartwood presents a deep purple-brown to nearly black hue, featuring a mysterious and attractive black stripe pattern that fully represents nobility and elegance. Furthermore, ebony has excellent stability, making it resistant to warping and deformation, and it is also highly resistant to corrosion, allowing it to be preserved for a long time while maintaining its beauty over the years.
