The journey

This Afghan Jade hand-carved dual platter Butterfly 205*30*184mm weighs 1030g. Lawrence Handicrafts hand-made this graceful carving for us in the delicate translucent Afghan Jade found in 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 The Butterfly’s metamorphosis is a message to release outdated beliefs, habits, or fears and to embrace new beginnings and higher self-awareness.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.

Afghan Jade is a form of Serpentine named after one of the main countries where it is mined. It is a dense cryptocrystalline mixture of serpentine group mineral. These minerals are mainly antigorite, chrysotile and lizardite. It contains impurities such as chlorite, ilmenite, magnetite and talc. Afghan Jade is used for carving. It is translucent to opaque, varying in colour from white, light to dark green and can also occur with yellow, black, brown, pink or yellow inclusions.

When dormant, Kundalini energy lies coiled at the base of the spine. Its release is transformative. The properties of this stone and the butterfly symbology of transformation unite in this piece to encourage you to proceed with courage and patience.
