See how we make them

An eagle worked in red agate. At 9.4 inches and 2834 g it wants a shelf of its own rather than a desk corner.

Agate is banded chalcedony — silica that filled a cavity in layers over a very long period. Those bands are a growth record, so a cut surface is always a cross-section through something that formed slowly.

The difficulty in an animal figure is mass rather than detail: getting the shoulder, haunch and neck to carry weight convincingly while staying within the block the carver started from.

  • One of a kind

    Every carving is cut from its own block of rough. The photographs on this page show the exact piece you will receive — not a sample from the same batch.

  • Natural stone, untreated

    100% natural stone, never dyed or reconstituted. Veins, inclusions and small shifts in colour are how the material formed; they are marks of origin rather than faults.

  • Carved by hand

    Cut, shaped and polished by hand. Proportions differ a little from piece to piece because each one follows the block it came out of.

  • Checked and packed

    Hand-inspected before dispatch and shipped in shockproof packaging.
