The likeness of a triceratops has been hand carved 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 banded variety of chalcedony. The colors of its bands range from white to almost every color (save some shades, such as purple or blue). Commonly, specimens of onyx contain bands of black and/or white. Onyx is thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition and instincts.
Triceratops lived about 66 - 68 million years ago in Western North America. It was one of the last know non avian dinosaurs. The three horns on its skull make it easily recognizable and it is convergently related to what we know today as rhinoceroses.
