Description The lotus is one of Buddhism’s most significant symbols. The lotus flower is viewed as a symbol of spiritual unfoldment. It is a symbol of enlightenment and mental purity.The roots of a lotus are in the mud, the stem grows up through the water, and the heavily scented flower lies pristinely above the water, basking in the sunlight. This pattern of growth signifies the progress of the soul from the primeval mud of materialism, through the waters of experience, and into the bright sunshine of enlightenment. These earrings are made with datolite, a borosilicate mineral. It usually comes in the form of crystals, and the only place in the world where datolite forms in porcelain, cauliflower-like solid nodules is the copper ore regions of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The most common datolite color is white, but it can occur in a range of pastel colors influenced by metals. “Lakers” are the oldest agate on the planet. Laker agates differ from other agates found around the world in its rich red, orange, and yellow coloring.
