Chickadee in a Tree

$500.50* ONLY @ ASPEN EMPORIUM

(4.5” x 14”)

This unique 3D Chickadee has found his home in a petrified wood tree trunk. The bird was made entirely from natural stone, in the Opus Sectile tradition.

His slate beak, white marble & black granite face, were carved and shaped, then gray polished marble from Turkey was used for his body and wings and fit together. Using diamond bits, his wings were carved to provide further detail. A black onyx eyeball completes this little chickadee.

Then the petrified wood was carved out to inset the little bird. A metal hanger was glued onto the back. Lastly, the entire piece was enhanced and sealed with a high-quality stone sealer, and the artist’s signature ladybug glued on.

The marble is loaded with cleansing, healing and serenity energies, black slate is great for protection, while the petrified wood gives off grounding and patience vibes.

*Price includes delivery in Colorado sales tax & personalized letter detailing the exact stones/semi-precious stones/crystals used in each specific piece and listing some of their energetic properties.
