~Fabulous~ XL Agate Double OWL Totem with Big Amethyst Lined Central VUG

This is a beautiful XL Agate Double OWL Totem with a large central vug in front that is lined with sparkly Amethyst crystals. Shown next to a standard 12oz/355ml soda can for size comparison.

Fabulous details, and carved from a single piece of stone! The blue-grey background coloring is accented by darker golden yellow, cream/white, a brighter reddish orange, and pink-y purples from the Amethyst (the edges of which are visible on the back side, too!). This one looks like a mother and chick to me, and I really love the way the smaller owl on the right is leaning towards the larger one. :->

Besides the larger main central vug, there are some other smaller ones here and there around the back side and base. They are not lined with Amethyst and rounder/more free-form in shape. Vugs are natural formations, sometimes also known as "crystal cave inclusions", and considered highly collectible. There may be small organic spots here and there from inclusions that were close to the surface as the stone was shaped. ALL areas present come from 100% natural formations in the stone.

It weighs about 3lbs 13.2oz and measures about 7 1/8" inches tall by 4 5/8" inches wide across the widest point by about 3 1/2" inches deep. Code-020224-3782
