Marble Bear

The bear is the quintessential symbol of the vast wilderness that distinguishes the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks.

 

These calcite and marble bears were cut and shaped by a skilled lapidary in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia, Canada. While sculpting, he used the stone's unique colours to enhance the animal's iconic form.
