A buddha worked in amazonite. At 7.5 inches and 1190 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.
Amazonite is a feldspar, not a quartz, and it behaves differently under the tool: it cleaves along flat internal planes instead of fracturing. The white streaking through the blue-green is a second feldspar grown into the first, which is why the pattern looks woven rather than banded.
Figure work asks for restraint — the face carries the whole piece, and overworking it is easier than underworking it. Drapery and hands are where the carving hours actually go.
