Standing in strength, a unique Bear with turquoise inlaid eyes is carved from a breathtaking surfite specimen by David Chavez, Jr. Similar to fordite or other motor agates, surfite is a by-product from 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 dazzling stripes and patterns when cross-sectioned. This unique resin will not decompose if thrown into a landfill so the creation of jewelry and Zuni animal carvings gives this material new life as a faux gemstone. David's strong bear has a bold golden yellow pattern reminiscent of a sunrise or sunset. About 2 1/2" tall, 1" wide and 1" deep.
