I bought three birds from this artist for Christmas gifts and each one was beautiful--substantial, yet with exquisite detailing. Just gorgeous. The recipients loved them!
I've purchased 3 of these - 1 for myself and the other 2 as gifts, primarily because I love chrysocolla. Typical of chrysocolla, each one has varied in color, all of which are very pretty. and nicely crafted.
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.
