A sea turtle swims through the deep oceans riding currents that take them to distant shores but alway returning to their home beach to lay eggs, hatching the next generation of explorers. This terrific Turtle is carved from ricolite, a stone found here in New Mexico. The turtles shell is perfectly lined up with the layers of the stone and accented with incised lines for the carapace. With inlaid coral eyes and large flippers, for long distance swimming, the turtle measures about 1 3/8" long, 1 3/8" wide by 1/2" tall. Perfect for hitching a ride in a pocket or pouch.
