Jasper unakite turtle

This turtle is carved from unakite, a metamorphic rock characterized by its distinctive green and pink colors. Unakite gets its name from the Unaka River in the United States, where it was first discovered. Primarily used in jewelry and decoration, unakite is composed of pink orthoclase, green epidote, and clear quartz. This object combines natural aesthetics with artisanal craftsmanship, representing the turtle, often considered a symbol of longevity.

The finely detailed turtle measures approximately 8 cm in length.
