Care for product
Gemstones are known to withstand the harshest of environments. In order to further ensure that every generation experiences the true luster of your Ma Passion creation, we recommend our connoisseurs to carefully clean the carving with a wet cotton ball once a year. In order to further bring out the polish, one can dip some cotton in a thin oil, run it through the carving, leave the oil overnight, and then proceed to remove the remaining oil with a wet cotton on the next day. This process can also be done annually.

Ardhanareshwar in Imperial Nephrite Jade (ISF-3314)
Ardhanareshwar is the composite form of Lord Shiva with his wife, Goddess Parvati. This form of the Gods is believed to symbolize the equality and the inseparability of the masculine and feminine. This Ma Passion carving is created with utmost deftness on the part of our master kaarigar. The right side of the figure depicts Lord Shiva with his trishul and matted hair while the left side shows Goddess Parvati with her ornaments and garments. Imperial Nephrite Jade lends itself perfectly to this level of craftsmanship due to its high level of crystallization. However, the layered crystallization also makes it a challenge to carve this nephrite jade. Being extremely difficult to mine from the lands of Siberia, this stone is a treasure that is made more exclusive with the intricate carving of a powerful and symbolic form of the Gods.
