Get ready to be captured by cuteness! Created over millions of years, the captivating violet-red ruby seamlessly integrates with the lush black zoisite, resulting in a carving that showcases a remarkable and dramatic color palette. And it was made into an owl! This adorable carving shows an owl peeking out of its tree to see exactly what you are doing over there. What does it see? We don't know, it's not saying. Cute and loyal. And you don't even have to feed it! And since rubies fluoresce, if you shine a UV light on it, it glows! We're even sending you a mini UV light with it, so you don't have to go see your hippy friend with the lava lamp and black light posters. It's a win-win! (And seriously, who needs that much patchouli anyway?) This piece measures 27mm x 24.3mm x 20mm, making it big enough for a shadowbox or desktop without being overbearing, and has a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, so it is as durable as it is adorable. Sourced from Tanzania. Untreated!
