Exquisitely carved from natural mammoth ivory ice material, this pendant showcases a faceless Buddha (and lotus). The core of the ivory is milky white, with fine and detailed craftsmanship, presenting a small, exquisite piece with a warm, smooth touch. **Faceless Buddha** The concept of the Faceless Buddha in Buddhism refers to a Buddha who transcends form and mutual distinctions. It represents the Buddha's realm, emphasizing the Buddhist concept of emptiness, where all forms and characteristics are illusory. The Faceless Buddha has no specific facial features, reminding people to let go of all prejudices and differences to achieve inner unity and harmony. The blank face draws attention to inner feelings and enlightenment, embodying the Zen and emptiness philosophies of Buddhism. In Buddhism, the Faceless Buddha symbolizes a spiritual state that transcends form and worldly constraints, detachment from the concepts of Buddha and form, and the pursuit of inner peace and self-reflection. It also carries auspicious meanings of protection, wealth, and good fortune, reflecting a profound integration of Buddhist culture and art. **Mammoth Ivory** Mammoth ivory, a relic of prehistoric creatures, serves as an alternative material for ivory carving in China. The United Nations Convention does not prohibit the processing and trade of mammoth ivory. As a prehistoric relic, much of the mammoth ivory is unsuitable for carving due to climate change. Only about 15% of high-quality ice-grade mammoth ivory is suitable for carving. It is a non-renewable, scarce resource, often referred to as "white gold," which governments eagerly stockpile. It is a precious cultural artifact, and due to its rarity, its extraction is now restricted. Mammoth ivory is highly regarded in the market for its legality, non-renewability, and collectibility. Its exquisite, luxurious, durable, and precious nature has earned it the reputation of an "organic gemstone"! It holds significant potential for appreciation as a collectible investment. It has appeared in Buddhist scriptures multiple times and holds a revered and sacred status in Buddhism, traditionally symbolizing warding off evil, attracting blessings, calming the spirit, and stabilizing the home. Fragments from carving can be used medicinally to calm seizures and spirits, and also to dispel dampness and detoxify. It can even be used in beauty treatments! **Grades of Mammoth Ivory** When we refer to mammoth ivory, we typically mean the incisors of mammoths. Mammoth ivory material is mainly categorized into four types: ice material, frozen soil material, soil material, and molars. Among these four, most opinions consider white ice material to be the best. Ice Material: Material preserved in ice layers, considered the finest. Due to the low-temperature, sealed storage environment, the ivory is clean, intact, free of spots or cracks, and of excellent quality. Frozen Soil Material: As the name suggests, it comes from frozen soil. Its quality is slightly inferior to ice material, with more cracks, but it offers a richer variety of color changes and is cleaner and purer than soil material, making it quite popular in the market. Soil Material: Generally considered the lowest grade, it has a high proportion of waste material and significant calcification. Its luster and smoothness are not very good, making it difficult to meet carving requirements, and its price is relatively lower. Molars: Mammoth molars are mostly fossilized. A small portion requires processing to be made into accessories and differs in texture from the other three types. **Heart Buddha** The Buddha is inherently formless. All returns to great freedom. All phenomena, Are but illusions. The Buddha is but a thought. My heart is my Buddha. The Buddha is, naturally. **About the Product** Selected from the core of mammoth ivory ice material sourced from the Siberian permafrost.

Dust can be removed with a clean, soft brush. Frequent wear is the best form of maintenance. Avoid cleaning with water, soap, or hand sanitizer. Do not wear this jewelry while bathing or visiting hot springs. Prevent the ivory from coming into contact with harsh cleaning agents like detergents. Avoid exposing the ivory to environments with extreme temperature or humidity fluctuations, as mammoth ivory is sensitive to both. Protect it from drops and impacts. In summary, avoid freezing, wind, excessive drying, water, sweat, drops, and chemical agents. If not worn for an extended period, apply a layer of maintenance oil evenly to the mammoth ivory product, seal it in a bag, and store it in a cool place.
