The likeness of a tyrannosaurus 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.
Tyrannosaurus, like triceratops, was one of the last known non avian dinosaurs to roam the Earth approximately 66 - 72.7 million years ago. It is most regognizable by its large and powerful hind limbs and short fore limbs. Tyrannosaurus could have exceeded 13 m in length and 8.8 tons in mass. This predator is thought to be a scavenger.
