Natural Oolite Hand Carved Crystal Butterfly Set (4pcs)

A butterfly set pcs worked in oolite. At 58 inches and 80 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.

Jasper is opaque microcrystalline quartz coloured by iron and other mineral impurities. It shows no translucency, which puts all the emphasis on how the surface is modelled rather than on any light passing through.

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.
