Money Toad — How Goodness Beckons Abundance

Let us take you back to the time of the Tang dynasty when legend was born under the starry skies. On one such moonlit evening, the scholar Liu Hai came upon a small three-legged toad ensnared by a serpent’s coils. He freed her with gentle care, and as gratitude, she appeared again at his side clutching a gleaming coin in her mouth. Rather than offering a single gift, she bound herself to him as a loyal companion—ready to produce a fresh coin each time he called. From that night on, she was honored as the Money Toad, a sculpted emblem of prosperity earned through kindness, integrity, and steadfast effort.

Carved today as a poised female figure bearing a coin, the Money Toad serves as a quiet prompt to cultivate gratitude, opportunity, and intentional stewardship. Following traditional Feng Shui guidance, no more than nine toads should be displayed within a single building. A single figure is best placed just inside the main entrance, set slightly to one side and facing inward. This vantage encourages the positive flow of opportunity into the space — offering a visual anchor for honest gain, earned through care, consistency, and wisdom.

Silver Sheen Obsidian — Illuminated Insight for Prosperous Paths

Silver Sheen Obsidian is a rare volcanic glass distinguished by a luminous silver shimmer that appears to glide across its surface as it moves in the light. This shifting glow symbolizes heightened perception, clarity of direction, and the ability to see beyond surface appearances. When shaped into the form of the Money Toad, the stone’s reflective quality amplifies the toad’s symbolism as a beacon for opportunity — helping to “illuminate” the wise choices and strategic pathways that lead to true abundance. Together, they unite the toad’s message of prosperity earned through virtue with the stone’s energy of clear-sighted navigation, creating a piece that embodies both wealth potential and the discernment to steward it well.
