    Manikin
    (62 items)

    Thrift shop find , This is a carved Eagle sitting on a rock of quartz with fools gold in it . I am not sure what the stone is as color of seems to go all the way through and it is not resin . Soapstone ? I never saw this color soapstone so if you have a idea what it is fill me in :-) He is large with a wing span of 14 " and 13 " Tall . Seems like he is ready to swoop down and catch his prey . Glass eyes . UPDATE ******Thanks to kyratango and Gillian who identified this stone as Unakite ! Unakite Gemstone meaning. Unakite, also called epidote, derives its name from the Greek epidosis, meaning "growing together". It is a combination of red jasper and green epidote solidly bound together.

    5. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      You know what that looks like? Watermelon tourmaline.
    6. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Efsgirl it has same type of coloring as watermelon tourmaline but it is not tourmaline to solid . Thank you for stopping and giving a idea to type of stone always a pleasure to see you :-)
    7. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      The pleasure is all mine! And here I was, hoping you had found a small fortune in the thrift shop!
    8. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      I wish Efegirl too a fortune is good and a tip to a warm climate that has a sandy beach . Oh I dream big :-)
    9. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago

    10. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      kyra - If this IS ruby zoisite, Mani will be on her way to the beach very soon!
    11. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      lol efsgirl :-) has to much orange hue I think for zoisite doesn't it. I think so . No sandy beaches in my future :-( Very close though kyratango I agree :-)
    12. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      Mani, how are the head and tail attached to the body? Or is the entire eagle one piece?
    13. mikelv85 mikelv85, 8 years ago
      Wow Mani...this is an impressive piece of work .....Incredible ! :)
    14. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Found it... Unakite!
      Bonnie, the ruby in zoisite is usually of lw quality :-)
      I think the eagle is carved in several kind of stones parts.

    17. Gillian, 8 years ago
      Great find Kyra. That's one huge piece of stone. The carving is so detailed. Manikin, will you research some more - maybe a small beach?
    18. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Good catch Gilian! I only encountered unakite in small carvings or beads before, so took a moment to think about this pretty stone :-)
    19. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Wow you guys are the best ! kyratango and Gillian that is it !!!!!! Am I rich yet :-) how small a beach Gillian like a sand box in my back yard by a rubber pool or a real beach :-) Many many thanks to you both I will alter title now xo
    20. kyratango kyratango, 8 years ago
      Very happy, Manikin, to have been of some help for your magnificent eagle :-D
    21. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      You are going to be soooooo balanced, girlfriend! :-)

      http://www.crystalvaults.com/crystal-encyclopedia/unakite-jasper

      "Unakite Jasper brings together the abundant, nurturing energy of green with the soft, caring passion of pink in one of Nature’s most healing crystals of the heart and mind. It resonates with the frequency of love, compassion and kindness, and is a stone dedicated to balancing the emotional body."
    22. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      Efesgirl the tail is separate inserted into tail with some over lay of colored feathers . Oh boy and do I ever need balance maybe he will be a good luck Eagle :-)
    23. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
      The wings are separate and inserted but body and legs one piece .
    24. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      That eagle is gorgeous. Whoever originally bought it paid a pretty penny for it, I can tell you!
    25. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 8 years ago
      Its a real beauty Mani, just love the colours in the stone, the tail may be alabaster but hard to tell from photos. Magnifique !
    26. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago

    27. Manikin Manikin, 8 years ago
