Jet is a type of lignite, a black organic rock that forms when pieces of woody material are buried in sediment and are coalified. It's mined in England, Spain, France's Aude region, Germany and other parts of northern Europe, Asia and North America. New Mexico's landscapes yield jet as well. Beloved throughout time, jet has the ability to be easily carved or cut into shapes with precision. It can be rubbed to a nice matte finish or polished to a bright luster. Gabriel Sice's roaming Bear smoothly sculpted from jet has turquoise inlaid eyes, mouth and paws. In the wild, bears journey around setting an example for us to get up, get out and enjoy precious life. About 2 5/8" long, 1 1/4" wide and 1 5/8" tall.
