Alabaster is a mineral in the gypsum family adored throughout time because of versatility and ease of carving. Jacob Wilson's charming has been sculpted from a gorgeous alabaster to a size of approximately 2 5/8" long, 3/4" wide and 1 1/2" tall. Little ears are drilled and eyes are from turquoise inlays. Bears are revered by Indigenous cultures because they have powers that we do not.
