The Empress

Artist - Lovemore Bonjisi Material - Lepidolite Dimensions - 64h x 30w x 32d With its natural colour, tactile surface and flowing lines, beautiful stone sculpture from Birdwoods will add a graceful focal point to your home and garden Purple in colour, this stone is absolutely stunning, especially in natural daylight. It is greatly prized by the sculptors but increasingly difficult to source and becoming prohibitively expensive as a carving stone. This is due to the demand from the telecommunications industry as Lepidolite is a member of the mica group and is a secondary source of lithium. It is also one of the major sources of the rare alkali metals rubidium and casesium. *IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION* Please note, shipping and insurance costs on this product are additional due to its nature, size and weight.
