A birds cut from a single block of blood stone, 4.1 inches.
Bloodstone is dark green chalcedony carrying spots of red jasper — iron oxide concentrated into flecks rather than dispersed. The old name heliotrope predates the bloodstone one by many centuries.
Animal subjects are judged on stance before detail. The weight has to sit right in the legs and shoulders, because a stone animal that looks unbalanced stays looking wrong no matter how fine the surface work is.
