515 - TIGEREYE ALABASTER
This stone is great for Indian
figures and is used for sculptures of natives of North America,
South Seas, Hawaiian, or other original citizens of the Western
Hemisphere. It is in great demand. Colors are dark to light
brown, sometimes with orange and yellow spots with dark green
banding like brook trout. Body features can be carved of brown
with green foliage and orange or yellow fruit for a background.
Try it with the brighter colors as a blanket over one shoulder,
or a shawl over the head. Famous for Southwest Indian prize
sculptures that sell well in the galleries. Large slabs or
long/talls readily available from 8" to 10" in thickness. Some
6" thick on hand with multicolors.
