A 28" andesite stone sculpture capturing an essence of life within. The soft contours and form suggesting a vibrant energy about to emerge.

Andesite is of volcanic origin forming from the magma explosions of violent eruptions.
Slow cooling promoting growth of crystal formations within the stone itself.
A fine textured specimen is perfect for sculpting as a 'hard stone' medium.
(Hard Stone is interpreted as a stone which is harder than the steel of a quality knife. 5 to 5.5 on the mohs gemstone scale of hardness.)
