5.6" Carved Alkali-Feldspar Turtle - Philippines
This is a beautiful polished turtle sculpture carved from a black stone with areas of white alkali feldspar, collected from the Philippines. This turtle measures 5.6 inches long and its glossy polish brings out the natural patterns of this beautiful stone. There is one section of feldspar on the turtles shell that resembles North America.
Feldspars are a group of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals. They are the most common minerals on Earth, making up nearly 60% of the crust.
