The heart and the message of Metta
Metta is a Sanskrit word meaning unconditional loving kindness, the warm attention a mother gives to her child. At the bottom of this 20 centimetre crystal string hangs a heart shaped cut crystal as a quiet reminder. If you wish to send someone a soft yet meaningful gift, this hanging speaks both through its look and its message.
Seven chakra colours, one heart crystal
Above the heart crystal there are seven small octagonal crystals, each carrying the colour of one of the seven main chakras. When sunlight shines through them, the cut edges break the rays and small rainbow dots wander across the room. The lower heart crystal is a little larger, so its light dot is more pronounced on the wall, and if you look closely you can really see the heart shape in it.
As a gift and at home
Because of its message it makes an especially nice gift for a couple, a kind acquaintance, a mother, a grandmother or a colleague. But you can also bring some calm into your own living room: hang it in a window that catches the afternoon sun and watch the heart shaped light dot move across the wall around dinner time. With a little attention it becomes a living decoration in the space.
Facts and packaging
Full length: 20 centimetres. Weight: 79 grams. Material: cut glass crystal, metal hanger, fine cord. Packaging: a decorative blue cardboard gift box that is also good for storage. Country of origin: China. The heart crystal may appear in slightly different shades on photos depending on the angle of light, which is a natural phenomenon.
Cleaning and lasting beauty
Wipe it once a month with a soft dry cloth, especially the heart crystal where the two curved surfaces hold dust more readily. Do not put it under running water and avoid moist air. The gift box is the best place for storage. If you do not use it for a long while, it is worth wiping around the metal loop too, so it ages well.
