This is a nice carved Cow made from Dalmatian stone. It measures 2"
x 1 1/4" and has a nice polish. He is a different carving to add to
your collection.
Dalmatian Stone, or orbicular Rhyolite, is an igneous rock that was
formed by lava flows on the Earth's surface. The spots or "orbs" probably
occurred when molten lava reacted with fragments of rock known as Xenoliths.
These stones are light to dark tan in color with black spots throughout.
The nickname "Dalmatian" was given to this unusual looking mineral because
of its resemblance to a Dalmatian dog's spots.

red due to mineral impurities. Patterns can arise from the formation
process and flow patterns in the sediment or volcanic ash that was saturated
with silica which formed the banding or swirling designs in the rock.

This is a nice carved
Frog made from Mahogany Obsidian. It measures 2" in length by 1 1/2"
in width. He is has a pretty Brown and Black mix of colors and a neat design.
Take him home quick before he hops away.
Obsidian is a rock which is a type of naturally occurring glass that
is produced by volcanoes when felsic lava cools rapidly and freezes without
sufficient time for Crystal growth. It is an extrusive igneous rock.
Because Obsidian lacks Crystal structure, the blade edges can reach almost
molecular thinness, leading to the ancient use of arrow heads and the modern
use of surgical scalpel blades.
