Flower Tube Onyx Badger by Chris Sandoval

A vibrant shiny muted orange, brown umber, tan, burnt sienna colored flower tube onyx low-to-the-ground badger with turquoise inlaid eyes carved by Chris Sandoval. Chris has added a fantastic offering bundle to the top of the badger's back with sinew featuring turquoise beads that surround a spiny oyster, amber bead with one branch coral bead placed at the center. The branch coral can be positioned however the prospective buyer chooses. Flower tube onyx presents itself with ornate flowering patterns, as well as colorful banding and beautiful orbs in rich autumn colors. Though it is not a typical onyx, as most are quartz-based material, the flowering tube onyx is much more of a stalactite - where it is mostly calcite. This material was originally found by Robert Steele in Juab County, Utah in the 1960s. Onyx gives strength. It promotes vigor, steadfastness and stamina. Imparts self-confidence, helping you to be at ease in your surroundings. Artist: Chris Sandoval Size: 1-1/2 in. wide x 3-1/8 in. long x 1 in. tall #61548
