Green Aventurine Hand-Carved Elephant Figurine — Trunk Up, 6.1 oz
A solid hand-carved green aventurine elephant, rendered fully in the round with trunk raised — the posture traditionally associated with victory and good fortune across Chinese, Indian, and Feng Shui traditions. The stone is a rich apple green with fuchsite-driven aventurescence visible in raking light, shaped into a compact, weighty form with incised wrinkle lines along the trunk and body, pierced nostrils, and a small decorative finial atop the head. At 6.1 oz, this piece carries noticeably more stone than mass-market equivalents — the heft is immediate in the hand. The high-gloss polish is even and consistent throughout.
Aventurine has carried associations with luck and prosperity since antiquity — and the raised-trunk elephant amplifies that symbolism for Feng Shui buyers specifically.
CONDITION
Good. No chips, cracks, or fractures. Minor tool marks in the incised line work are inherent to hand-carving. Light surface wear consistent with handling.
