Mini Obsidian Crystal Tortoise

To create a sense of wellbeing and long life for all family members, position a Tortoise statuette in the East sector.

In Chinese mythology, while the Crane is believed to be able to live at least one thousand years feeding only on water, the Tortoise is even more impressive; it can survive three times longer than that! It is for this reason that it is a huge symbol of longevity, and is highly demanded by many who wish to live long healthy lives. The Tortoise is also a feng shui representation of safeguard and immunity to bad intentions, due to the fact that it comes with the Lo Shu square, which is the foundation of all Feng Shui theories. A Taoist scholar and alchemist in the Han Dynasty, Ge Hong wrote in "the Master who embraces simplicity" that "if the shell of a thousand-year-old tortoise can first be obtained and later consumed through alchemy, one will be able to attain longevity".

The tortoise, being one of the four celestial animals (among the Dragon, Phoenix and Tiger), is much revered by the Chinese and Feng Shui followers as a creator of solidity, sustenance and perseverance. As an essential item in Feng Shui landscaping, those who display a Tortoise in the North sector of their home or office will reap the many rewards that this celestial creature has to offer.

This tortoise is made of Obsidian. This precious stone does wonders for improving self-image and enhancing self-esteem. For those with confidence issues, such as shame or shyness, Obsidian will induce personal development and allow you to overcome any obstacles in your way. It will protect you from any negative forces or bad intentions, and will rid your mind of any ailments such as depression or stress. This stone will help your mind to recover from any tragedies you endured in the past, and will help you to get past any hard feelings or fear that may have stemmed from these traumas.
