Similar to fordite or other motor agates, surfite is a by-product of surfboard manufacturing. The process includes pouring resin over foam and fiberglass forms. The excess resin from multiple boards will pool and harden on the shop floor creating beautiful and dazzling patterns when cross sectioned. This resin will not decompose if thrown into a landfill so the creation of Zuni animal carvings gives this material new life as a faux gemstone. Since the designs from surfite are organically created and unique, each piece carved from surfite is just as special as seen in Lynn Quam's bushytail (Wolf, Coyote or Fox). Eyes are from turquoise inlays. We can help wild canine populations by not shooting at them and destroying their habitats. Bushytails are important ecosystem engineers. About 3 3/4" long, 1/2" wide and 1" tall.
