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.

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.

"Unique and well made artisan gifts for my 2 sons"





I purchased 2 of these for Christmas gifts for my 2 sons and they loved them. They both came individually wrapped in Peruvian gift wrap that in itself was very special. Both of my sons placed the pyramid on their desks so they can view it daily. The pyramid in very smooth and colors are vibrant and there does seem to be an energy or creative quality to the object. Im purchasing one for myself to place on my desk today. Thank you, Holly Schmidt

"My first order from NOVICA"





The Pyrite is wonderful. It did get lost in the mail, but once NOVICA checked on it and found out that it had gotten lost in the mail, I received it in just a few days.

Novica sales account for most of Cesar's income. It enables him to provide for his family, educate his children, take care of his health and provide full-time employment for other artisans. He is very grateful that his workshop has grown with Novica and for the security it has brought to his life.
"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."
