The material is known for its fluorescent sodalite content and its bold, speckled groundmass of dark grey-black matrix, warm russet-pink feldspar patches, and scattered mineral inclusions that give each piece a distinct, geological character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe carving is well-executed for this material: facial features, arms, and a tiered base are cleanly rendered, with the natural mineral patterning fully expressed across the figurine's polished surface. The high-grade polish brings out a vitreous luster that highlights the contrast between the dark syenite groundmass and the cream-to-russet feldspar zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYooperlite carvings in figurine form are uncommon. Most material from this locality is sold as rough or tumbled. A polished alien carving with this level of lapidary detail represents a collector-grade piece rather than a novelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApproximately 3 inches tall. Exact weight and dimensions vary piece to piece given hand-carved production. Specimen grade: High Grade. Origin: Upper Peninsula, Michigan, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"garland_workshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67719266926884,"sku":"GWL-00272","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/4875\/8308\/files\/GWL-00272_1_hero.png?v=1792035208","url":"https:\/\/zebraindustries.net\/products\/labradorite-carved-skull-figurine-70mm-polished-crystal-carving-collector-display-piece","provider":"Zebra \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
