Thank you so much for your tremendous response to our part one in this series; which indeed encouraged us to bring the second and concluding part of this series as soon as possible. The level of appreciation and the questions put forth by our readers motivated our experts to make this part even more engaging. After all, nothing is more inspiring than a two-way communication between the writers and their reader base.
In the first part of this series on the trending question, why natural stone Buddha is always a smarter purchase than the ones made from other materials, we ensured the comparison based upon some of the most pertinent yardsticks. These included the comparison of the natural stone Gautam Buddha statue with those made from other materials. These include the durability of the composition material and the impact of weather on their surfaces. We further discussed the detailing in texture and color that can be accomplished while working on their surface and the last but not the least, the maintenance required to sustain them in a long term.

Those who went through the complete piece of writing not just shared positive feedback about the knowledge they obtained but also placed order for their own natural stone Buddha. After all, the purchase becomes much easier when there is no iota of hesitation left inside the brain. While already been learnt about the superior features of one material over the other. Besides, it would generate the confidence in the investment being made in a spiritual décor and Vastu décor asset, relying upon the fact that it would stay with the buyer for generations.
Once done with the comparative study on these lingering yardsticks, we once again conclude this piece of writing by leaving you in the hands of the most assured brand with unparalleled reputation in the field of hand manufactured Buddha in marble and stone.

| Comparative Yardstick | Natural Stone Buddha Statue | Buddha Statue from Other Materials |
|---|---|---|
| Feng Shui and Vastu Shastra | Natural stone Buddha made from premium quality marble (black or white) and sandstone are considered to be optimal choice when it comes to premium Vastu benefits. The same concept applies to Feng energies as well. The reason is the fact that the natural stone is not synthesized artificially. Which is why, there is no scope of impurities in it that disrupt the balance of Feng or Vaastu. | Buddha statues made from crystal, brass, bronze and polyresin are prepared from the materials that are commercially synthesized; leaving the traces of impurities in them to a large extent. The presence of these impurities in the form of additional compounds, makes the Feng and Vastu balance of these sculptures a kind of disruptive. That is the reason why, even buying these products as décor set pieces is not recommended, as their impurity in composition would do more harm than good. |
| Historical/Cultural Significance and Status Symbol | Stone carving is indeed a status symbol. It is an centuries-old tradition that helps in connecting modern spaces to history. That are reminiscent of the techniques used for the construction of ancient temples, idols and monuments. | However, the statues made from polyresin, metal, crystal or wood lack a sense of cultural heritage, grandeur or timelessness. Even if we set these demerits aside, the Buddha statues online other than stones cannot even be presented as a status symbol. |
| Environmental Sustainability | As far as the environmental sustainability is concerned, then the Buddha manufactured from natural stone is an ecofriendly choice. As their superior lifespan curtails the scope of replacement for ages. | The Buddha idols prepared from petroleum-based resins or fiber materials eventually turn into long-term waste damaging the ecosystem due to their non-biodegradable components. |
| Asset with Appreciating Value | They are proven to be an asset that appreciates in value with the passage of time. They are hand-carved (making each piece unique), naturally heavy, non-hollow, and durable for generations. Just get them polished after a few years to regain the brand-new look. | Not a worthy investment, considering the fact that they are made from the materials that are bound to depreciate with time. Most of these synthetic alternatives are mass-produced with the help of machines, making them alike to one another with no panache of authenticity. |
