    Description

    LABRADORITE ELEPHANT with BRIGHT BLUE SCHILLER
    Artisan Crafted in China
    Stone Source: Madagascar

    A single, large Labradorite boulder was used to create this fine elephant carving. With its trunk and front legs raised, the elephant is standing upright next to a tree stump. Extremely well carved, the grey ground mass of the Labradorite mimics the natural color of an elephant's skin, but with a twist - there are strong flashes of bright blue iridescence that occur when viewed from every angle. The ears are translucent, the "skin" has the correct wrinkled texture and the tail appears to be twitching. This amazing sculpture is in fine condition.
    Overall Measurements: 10.25 x 10.25 x 12 inches (26.04 x 26.03 x 30.48 cm)
