Realistic, 2.55" Polished Kona Dolomite Stone Bear with Fish - Michigan

This is a fun, 2.55" long polished bear sculpted from serpentine stone mined in Oklahoma. The stone has been meticulously shaped and polished to create this unique piece. A small fish of the same material can be seen in its mouth, as if it was just freshly snatched up from a stream.

It stands up nicely on a flat surface.

Kona dolomite comes from the Kona Hills in Marquette County, Michigan. It is believed that cyanobacteria colonies are responsible for these deposits, which are roughly 2.1 billion years old (Precambrian). This material can be found in a wide variety of shades including brown, grey, black, orange, peach, pink, red, and yellow, and often in mottled, laced, and banded patterns.
