These Tibetan vajra or double vajra made of rock crystal are not only artistic objects, but also multi-layered symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. They are carved from large rock crystals in Nepal in a traditional craft workshop. Each specimen is unique in its dimensions.
The vajra (thunderbolt) and the double vajra (vishvavajra) are central symbols in Tibetan Buddhism. The vajra represents the indestructible truth of the Dharma, the unity of wisdom and compassion and the power to cut through illusions. The double vajra extends this symbolism, stands for stability and harmony in all directions and represents the cosmic order. Both are used in tantric rituals and mandalas and embody the transformative power and immutability of enlightened nature.
