When nature provides you with a stone that is already in its final shape!!! This fish was identified as Marsden "flower jade" when I purchased it and described as "lightly tumbled" to produce the matte finish that you see. The fish's mouth is a natural fracture in the stone that was cleaned out with a carbide scribe. The "eye" was added. I am looking for a nice feather to complete the fish's tail Oh . . . the pebble is about 4 inches long, and 1/2 inch thick. Note: Better photo added 4/17 [ Edited by: timidtiki 2008-03-19 09:56 ] [ Edited by: timidtiki 2008-04-17 02:28 ]
