Tanzanite Shiva Statue

Tanzanite Shiva Statue

A seated Lord Shiva, carved from a single, extraordinary block of natural tanzanite — the rare blue-violet gemstone found only in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Every element of the deity's iconography has been rendered in exquisite detail: the trishul held aloft, Vasuki the serpent coiled around the neck, the crescent moon in the matted jata, the meditative half-lidded gaze, and Nandi the sacred bull carved at the base.

At 1697 carats, this is a statue of remarkable scale and rarity. Tanzanite of this size and clarity is exceptionally difficult to source, and to see it carved with this level of devotional detail — by hand, in Jaipur — makes this piece truly one of a kind.

Sacred significance
Lord Shiva represents transformation, transcendence, and the dissolution of the ego — the stillness at the center of all change. Tanzanite, a stone associated with spiritual awakening and higher consciousness, is a rare and fitting medium for his form. Place in a meditation space, altar, or a room where you seek stillness, clarity, and inner strength.

Care
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged direct sunlight. Tanzanite is softer than many gemstones — handle with care and display in a secure, stable location.
