King Money Frog Rosewood (with Sodalite Crystals)

Proudly sitting on his throne of gold ingots and auspicious coins, the King Chan Chu is a powerful wealth symbol indeed. It is much larger than the other Money Toads and is sitting on a huge bed of gold ingots and coins. This mythical creature is said to appear every full moon near homes which the residents will receive good news the very next day. This is usually in the form of wealth or monetary gain. They are called "Chan Chu" in Chinese but is more commonly known as the Money Toad or the Three Legged Toad. In ancient China, these mythical Toads are believed to be the bringer of fortune.

They are traditionally placed next to the Altar of the Earth God. The three-legged money Toad holds a Chinese Coin in its mouth and sits on a pile of gold coins. On the back of the King Chan Chu are 7 diamond dots depicting the Ursa Major (Great North Pole 7 Stars). The seven stars of the Northern Skies are where the study of Chinese Elemental Astrology is based. These same 7 stars coupled with 2 hidden supporting stars in the Northern Skies represent the famous 9 Stars of the Bagua. And needless to say, this is the basis for all study on Feng Shui.

Commonly used today as symbols of wealth, the Money Toad is placed near cash registrars, receptions, managers' desk and offices of many successful businesses in Oriental countries. At home the Money Toad is placed in the corners of the living room or family rooms to enhance wealth chi of the household.

The Money Toad or Chan Chu is kept in the corner diagonally across from the entrance to a room. The corner of a room is known to be the focal point where chi gathers. The Money Toad is placed in these corners to activate what is traditionally believed to be 'Wealth Luck' of the household.

The Chan Chu comes with a porcelain dish filled with loose sodalite crystals - crystals are famed as energy cleansers and will provide a positive-charged environment. Both this items should be placed together in convergence areas of the home and office for the best Feng Shui.
