African Bloodstone with Pyrite Elephant Carving

An incredible African Bloodstone elephant carving with natural Pyrite, weighing just under half a kilo at an impressive 495g.

This is a wonderfully substantial statement carving with beautiful natural colouring, contrasting mineral inclusions and intricate detailing throughout.

African Bloodstone is known for its deep earthy green tones with naturally occurring contrasting markings. The addition of metallic golden Pyrite makes this particular piece especially striking, creating flashes of sparkle against the darker Bloodstone.

The elephant has been beautifully carved with wonderful attention to detail, while still allowing the natural patterns and character of the stone to remain the star of the piece.

Within crystal traditions, Bloodstone is associated with strength, courage and vitality, while Pyrite is popularly linked with abundance, confidence and prosperity.

Elephants themselves have long been symbolic of strength, wisdom, good fortune and protection.

A truly impressive piece for anyone who loves larger carvings, unusual mineral combinations or statement collector’s pieces.
