Shape & smooth texture of the stone, with a concave area on one side make for a good fidget/stress relief tool. Fits well in the hand, so inconspicuous, too.
I ordered some gemstone eggs from another internet site. Those gemstone eggs came with cheap looking wood stands. The stand that came with this gemstone egg is a lot better.
I also like the color of this egg. It has shades of maroon and light purple in it.
This apple reminds me of Bobby Goldsboro's song "LIttle Green Apples". I did not know that onyx could be green. It is the perfect color for this sculpture. Right now it is my one and only paperweight. I think it might also make a wonderful kitchen decoration.
