Soapstone Art Carving #1

Description

This soapstone art carving depicts a seal set amid a northern landscape. Soapstone is originally composed of minerals such as pyrite, quartz, and calcite. While the long formation process may create a smooth and soft texture throughout the stone, other minerals blend into this stone creating the veins and irregular striations that appear on each piece.

Dimensions: Approximately 9”W x 6.5”H (complete with picture wire mounted on back for hanging)
