"It s pretty"

The sphere is well made and got to me very quickly. I wish it were a more saturated, streaked green, but I know that the coloring of natural stones varies.

"Marine Depths stone sculpture"

Great sphere. For the price you cant beat it. The size & weight feel good. The serpentine used is very dark with some light streaks. Mine also had a great deal of pyrite inclusions on one side. Looks amazing.

Preserving Traditions

Preserving Traditions

"I learned to carve stone from a friend. In turn, I have taught my son and many of my workers the art of stone carving. When one of my artisans leaves to start a workshop of their own, I feel great pride. It means that the stone art of Peru will live on. Stone carving records the history of Peru and the Andes. Even though we now use machinery to bring our hand drawings to life... the stories the stones tell and the motifs we incorporate have been with us since pre-Inca times."
