Their dense structure allows the surface to take a smooth high polish while preserving bands, clouds and warm colour transitions inside the stone. Here, pale translucent body colour is contrasted by rich honey-orange areas that give the carving extra visual depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eClever-Color Carving\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sculptor uses natural colour zones instead of hiding them. Amber-toned areas are incorporated into the Pixiu form and surrounding relief so the mineral pattern becomes part of the composition. This approach, often called clever-color carving, rewards careful material selection because the finished image depends on how the original colour distribution is read before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSize \u0026amp; Presence\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate dimensions: \u003cstrong\u003e79 × 58 × 42 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e.
