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 it can spark up big time! A turquoise-eyed Bear with a tender demeanor is sculpted from this alluring mineral that measures approximately 2 3/8" long, 1" wide and 1 1/8" tall. Clawed paws are sgraffito-etched.
