Spectacular Colours! Museum quality Carving!
Spinning and dancing, F1 smiles and spreads his charm around the room.
He is balancing himself on his lower back, fins spread wide to catch the water as he spins.
Is he practicing for the Beluga dance contest?
Belugas are affable in nature and have a high pitched birdlike sound that sounds like a canary!
So he can sing and dance!
But his winning feature has to be his stunning stone colour!
Pits has really gone outside the box on this stone.
Glorious patches of white, dark greens, moss green and the occasional hint of lime.
OUT OF THIS WORLD!
Sadly, Pits passed away in October 2024 while looking for stone.
Because he was such a talented and admired carver, his pieces are becoming very hard to find.
Don't regret missing out on this joyful Beluga.
