Shipping and applicable taxes are calculated at checkout.
A sleepy cat in rose quartz at 1.6 inches — small enough to close a hand around.
The pink is caused by microscopic inclusions rather than by any dye, which is also why the stone is milky instead of transparent. Colour concentrates in bands and clouds within the block, so no two carvings take the light the same way.
The difficulty in an animal figure is mass rather than detail: getting the shoulder, haunch and neck to carry weight convincingly while staying within the block the carver started from.
