An unicorn wings cut from a single block of rainbow fluorite, 4.3 inches, 134 g.
Fluorite is calcium fluoride, soft at 4 on the Mohs scale and possessed of perfect cleavage in four directions — carving it is a matter of working with those planes rather than against them. The colour banding in purple, green and clear records successive stages of growth.
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.
