A panda in black obsidian at 2.9 inches — small enough to close a hand around.
Obsidian is not a crystal at all. It is volcanic glass — lava that met air or water and cooled too fast for a lattice to form. With no internal structure it polishes to a flat true black and breaks along the curved conchoidal edge you can see wherever the carver left the surface unsmoothed.
Worked in the round from a single block, with the form chosen to suit what that block could give rather than imposed on it.
