Valorous Ram

Kenric Laiwakete carved this brave ram or bighorn sheep from septarian nodule, which is basically mud or clay balls that formed around 50-70 million years ago and then fossilized. Crystalline calcite filled in the cracks in the clay mud. Dark lines can be seen along the edges of these inclusions, these are aragonite. With an alternating turquoise heartline plus turquoise inlaid eyes, Kenric's fearless fetish is about 3" long, 1" wide and 2" tall.
