The likeness of each prehistoric animal has been carved by hand from onyx marble by Peruvian artisans. Prehistoric stone animals fit easily into gift baskets and shadow boxes and are fun to create a scene when put in plants, in the window or a Zen garden.

Onyx is a variety of chalcedony or microcrystalline quartz which is formed in the gas cavities of lava. Generally, most onyx has a parallel banding structure (as opposed to agate which is more irregular), however black onyx doesn’t tend to have this characteristic banding.
Onyx is used to strengthen self-discipline and increased self-confidence.
