Realistic 2.6" Polished Chrysotile Serpentine Bear w/ Fish - Australia

Realistic Polished Chrysotile Serpentine Bear w/ Fish - Australia #308421

This is a fun, 2.6" long polished bear sculpted from chrysotile serpentine stone mined in Australia. The stone has been meticulously shaped and polished to create this unique piece. When tilted back and fourth, the lighter bands exhibit a gorgeous chatoyance. 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.

Serpentine is the name for a grouping of several related minerals, primarily antigorite and chrysotile. Antigorite serpentine typically represents the solid forms of serpentine, which are typically columnar in structure. Chrysotile serpentine consists of four separate groups; clinochrysotile, lizardite, orthochrysotile and parachrysotile, all of which have the same chemical composition. The difference between these groups of chrysotile serpentines are their crystal lattices. There are a variety of other forms of serpentine, but most of them are extremely rare.
