Phosphosiderite Beaver With Bird by Troy Sice

A striking plump soft purple an golden sienna colored phosphosiderite beaver with Kingman Mine turquoise inlaid eyes and gold-lip mother-of-pearl inlaid front teeth - carved by Troy Sice holding a branch created from Japanese coral with a small Carico Lake Mine turquoise bird inlaid to it. Note: Troy has chosen to leave porous natural voids. There are some voids under the beaver's chin, on the back of the head, the raised arm and down the beaver's left foot. Phosphosiderite is a soft mineral composed of phosphate and iron - ancient healers believed phosphosiderite could absorb negative energy and release it as positive energy. Beaver is industrious and diligent, he represents achievement and hard work and the promotion of family unity.
