Lately I’ve felt that the coffee table seemed kind of empty.
This is even though I’ve painfully sought this one out.
Not because I’ve wanted this particular model. But because it’s not easy to find a mass produced rectangular coffee table that has auspicious feng shui dimensions.
I tried placing a table mat on top consisting of 5 colors representing the 5 elements… yet for some reason I just felt that there was something missing.
A friend of mine recommended placing a white crystal lotus as a center piece.
The lotus plant represents purity and to rise above adversity. It has one of the most multi-tiered symbolism in feng shui and would no doubt add an air of tranquility into the living room.
Let’s not forget that lotus root also make quite a sumptuous meal as well. 😛
I then went on a rampage to find the perfect crystal lotus to the decor and here are some of the best crystal lotuses that I have found.
1) Amlong crystal lotus flower
One of the considerations that I had to keep in mind was that this crystal lotus flower which I intended to get must not be too small.
Or else it would have an insignificant presence on top of the table… which would defeat the purpose in the first place.
This one from Amlong seemed just the perfect size at 5 inches in diameter.
Not too small and not too big. It’s clear and gorgeous.
And would cast the spectrum of natural light all round the house… which would be simply spectacular.
2) OwnMy sparkle crystal lotus flower
If you don’t like the look of clarity for some reason, then this one with hue reflections might just be the one to tickle your fancy.
It look magical and also available in 5 inch size.
However, if you feel that that is simply too big, then they are also made in 3-inch and 4-inch.
So you are going to find a size for you as long as you like the design.
It feels strong when you hold it and would sure to brighten up your days with it’s sparkling colors.
3) Amlong sapphire blue crystal lotus
I totally get it.
Some people would only prefer clear crystals and find solid colors quite a turn off.
But maybe that’s because you have yet to see something like blue lotus crystal.
The thing is… that when we buy crystal made items and objects, as soon as they come in a solid color, the focal point turns to the object it portrays instead of it being a crystal.
I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
I mean… if you are willing to go for a transparent solid color, then there are few that would be as beautiful as this one.
Blue also represents water which would help nourish the crystal plant.
The one drawback is that it’s only available in 3-inch size.
4) Swarovski crystal lotus
If you are truly prepared to make this a center piece and become the envy of your guests, then you can start scheduling the jaw-dropping moments of visitors as soon as you order this one from Swarovski.
I saw an actual one on display at the mall and must admit that I experienced a brief moment of speechless gawking which felt like hours.
This is not just a display item or a paperweight.
This is a celebration of how far technology has come in the age of mankind.
The colors green, pink and yellow flows with the elements of wood, fire and earth.
If you have a natural liking towards the lotus flower and looking for a crystal display item for the dining table, coffee table, or display shelf, this is one product that just calls out to you.
5) OwnMy inner carving lotus flower crystal ball
If you desire something unique, this one might just pique your interest… just that little bit more…
This is a perfectly round spherical ball with the lotus plant carved inside it.
The flower actually looks like a hologram inside the crystal ball.
It don’t know how they managed this, but it balances the feelings of modern tech and oriental symbolism into it.
It really tough to put my finger on the feeling I get when I see this.
But it does trigger intrigue.
This might be suitable for those who want the lotus on display, but maybe a little embarrassed about it.
Which one to buy?
Before deciding on which one to buy, do take in account the size of your table or display cabinet.
Then determine a suitable size for your crystal lotus.
The last thing you want is to a lotus with so strong a presence that it overpowers everything else around.
Everything is supposed to blend as one, without one item overwhelmingly dominate over the others.
And remember that if your bazi is harmed by the water element, avoid the one in sapphire blue.
The safe bet is the clear crystal lotus by Amlong.
And if you can easily afford it, the one from Swarovski is simply breathtaking.
