Natural Unakite Hand Carved Crystal Butterfly Set (4pcs)

A butterfly set pcs worked in unakite. 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.

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.
