Hand-Carved Cockatoo Bird Figurine – Carved in Lapis Lazuli and Yellow Calcite on a Natural Rock Crystal Base - A cockatoo parrot figurine combining two stones of striking color contrast and a high level of polish. Presumably Brazil.  The head crest and long tail are carved from quality lapis lazuli in a deep, regal royal-blue hue. The body and wings are carved from yellow/honey calcite (Yellow Calcite), characterized by a warm yellow-orange hue and semi-translucent quality. The beak is fashioned from pale grayish quartz that integrates harmoniously with the bird's head. The bird is securely attached via metal feet (twisted brass wires) to a magnificent base of natural white/clear quartz crystal cluster (Clear Quartz Cluster). According to crystal healing and feng shui traditions, the combination of lapis lazuli (the stone of wisdom, truth, and self-expression), yellow calcite (associated with positive energy, joy, and self-confidence), and quartz (considered a powerful energetic amplifier and space purifier) lends this figurine deep symbolic and spiritual significance. Height: 15.5 cm. 534 g. In very good condition; the carving is intact, the gemstones are free of cracks or fractures, and the connection of the bird to the quartz base is strong and fully stable.
