Handcrafted Brazilian Gemstone Bird Sculpture, "Macaw Family"
The delicate glow of yellow calcite suggests warm affection. Sculpted of natural stones, two birds perch protectively near their nest. Alexandre Costa carves the couple by hand, setting the macaw family side by side in a single sculpture. One bird features tail feathers of sodalite and rose quartz with a bright jasper beak. The other flaunts a fluorite and green quartz tail with a dolomite beak. They perch on a drusy amethyst base with feet fashioned of silver plated brass. The nest is fluorite while the eggs are shaped from rose quartz and crystal quartz.

"Ready to sing"
I have had the pleasure of purchasing many items from Novica and this is among my favorites. It arrived in excellent condition, carefully secure, and gift wrapped as well. When I opened it I was moved to tears, recalling my singing canary, Noel, when I was a child. This item is beautifully carved! I couldnt be more pleased! It looks just like the picture.
