Animal: Bear, Material: Apache Gold
This offering is sold.
Apache Gold is the trade name for a handsome black and shiny metallic gold-like semi precious gemstone found in the United Verde Mine in Jerome, Arizona. The beautiful golden areas are pyrite. Nelson Yatsattie said that Apache gold is incredibly hard to carve. He mentioned that the top part of the carving nearly broke his equipment, sparking up big time! A turquoise-eyed Bear is sculpted from this alluring mineral that has three copper-colored spots on the back region and one on the ear. Approximately 4 1/8" long, 7/8" wide and 1 5/8" tall, nicely heavy in weight.
