Premium Multi-Stone Gemstone Goldfinch Bird

Description: Part of a premium private collection of hardstone gemstone bird carvings being sold ahead of an international relocation. This spectacular piece is a masterfully executed, lifelike representation of a European Goldfinch. Gemstone Details: The Goldfinch: An incredible piece of multi-stone lapidary art utilizing six different natural minerals. It features a bright white quartz torso, tan-brown jasper saddle, black obsidian wings and tail, a vibrant splash of golden-yellow wing bar markings, and the iconic crimson-red jasper face mask. Finished with a carved yellow-tinted beak and tiny inset black eyes. The Base: The bird stands via detailed silver-tone wire claws on a striking, highly textured natural crystal cluster composed of shimmering bladed rosettes (likely muscovite mica or desert rose gypsum). The piece is mounted firmly onto a polished square black granite plinth. Condition: Pristine cabinet display condition. No chips, fractures, or damage to any of the separate inset gemstone pieces, beak, or the delicate blade-like structures of the crystal matrix. (Note: The loose wooden disk seen underneath the granite plinth in the photos was used solely to protect photography surfaces and is not included). An absolute must-have for bird watchers, nature lovers, or crystal collectors. Its vibrant colors make it a standout feature piece for a mantlepiece, bookshelf, or display unit.
