This is the sixth natural gemstone sculpture I have that was made by Cesar Gonzalez. They are different shapes and sizes, and all are beautifully done.

"The Gaia Stone"

I must say that this sphere definitely looks like the view of our planet from space. I also love the planets theme that is displayed by many of your creations.

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."
