This smaller Kenny Chavez bear is carved from septarian nodule. Septarian nodule was formed fifty to seventy million years ago as a result of volcanic eruptions and dead sea life being chemically attracted to the sediment around them. When the ocean receded, the mud balls dried, cracked and shrank in size. Decomposed shells then seeped into the cracks and calcite crystals formed. The outer thin walls of calcite were then, over lots of time, transformed into aragonite. The distinctive pattern of these cracks is where the name "septarian" or seven comes from. The mud balls had a tendency to crack in seven points in every direction. So septarian nodule is actually a concretion of calcite (yellow), aragonite (the brown lines) and the outer grey rock (limestone). (I love septarian nodule. Can you tell?)

Kenny's trademark sterling silver heartline and eyes adorn this perfect little bear. Don't be shy now, say hello ... Signed.
