Jeremy brought along this amazing piece depicting a crocodile and frog sitting on a rock, carved from a large solid block of multi-coloured fluorite from China.

Another cat, this time carved from Tiger eye.

 

Some amazing eggs carved from some less common materials were on disply from Margaret's collection.

Two views of a crocoite egg showing partially cavernous areas with red crystals and a yellowish material (Vauquelinite?) from the famous Tasmanian deposits around Dundas.

Again, cavernous areas this time in a copper rich matrix material lined with crystals of Dioptase from Namibia.

Three views of a beautifully tinted blue fluorite egg from France with what appears to be inclusions of flattened, quartz crystals embedded within.

A rather unusual egg with a cavity partially filled with Stibnite crystals.

A Pair of "Book ends" (?)....

all made from various unspecified stone materials.
