Labradorite and silver model of a hummingbird

This sweet hummingbird stone model which perches on top of an unusual rock was crafted in the 20th century.

The hummingbird is carved from an unusual stone, labradorite. The stone’s colouring is very rare as its colour palette is composed of shades of green, brown, black, and the most eye-catching iridescent blue. The eye-catching iridescent colouring has been expertly placed on the bird’s underbelly and side, not visible from all angles. This objet d’art needs to be carefully adorned from all sides for the viewer to notice all its superb qualities. Labradorite carries important spiritual meanings as it is one of the most powerful protectors from the negativity that surrounds humans in the world.

The elongated and slender beak of the bird is carved from a lighter semi-precious stone, creating a vivid colour contrast between the green of the body and the cream of the beak. Two round, black stones form the hummingbird’s eyes.

Silver is used for the bird’s claws which delicately rest on the unusual rock. All sides of the muted-coloured rock are different, encouraging the observer to analyse all its faces and be surprised by what it is showing.

This meticulously crafted object d’art celebrates natural beauty and adds a touch of elegance to an interior space.
