First and foremost, I Love walking bears. Especially when they are beautifully made with a beautiful stone like this one. This bear encompasses everything that makes a carving perfect. Their are zero defects, the stone is classic green, the finish is silky smooth. The proportions are outstanding. You can even see the muscle tone on the bear.
When I saw this piece, I made no hesitation in taking it. It is that beautiful. There are a few clients I already know who are going to Love and want this piece.
