A butterfly wings cut from a single block of rose quartz, 5 inches, 349 g.
Rose quartz owes its colour to microscopic mineral fibres threaded through the quartz, and those same fibres are what make it cloudy rather than clear. The pink is never even — it pools and thins across a block, so a carved surface shows drifts of stronger and weaker colour.
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.
