Hand-Carved Green Sandstone Animal Tea Pets

Wabi-Sabi Texture: Crafted from natural Green Sandstone (Qing Shashi), featuring a raw, grainy finish that feels cool and grounding to the touch.
The “Resting” Series: Unlike traditional fierce statues, these animals are sculpted in low, relaxing poses (lying down or crawling), symbolizing “grounding energy” and peace.
Interactive Tea Pet: Pour hot tea over them during your tea rituals. The stone absorbs the liquid, becoming smoother, darker, and more lustrous over time.
Symbolic Gifts: Each animal carries a unique blessing—from the Elephant’s “Good Fortune” to the Pufferfish’s “Abundance.”
