Vince has carved this large buffalo from a sizeable chunk of septarian nodule from Utah. Septarian Nodules are concretions that have a series of radiating cracks, crossed by a series of concentric cracks to form a turtle-back appearance. They are also known the Dragon Stone Healing Stone. Ball-like sepatrian nodules began their life as sedimentary slime at the bottom of a Cretaceous sea 50 to 70 million years ago. Sediment composed of decomposing plants and animals formed into balls. Septarians are composed of calcite which creates the yellow center. Aragonite creating the brown lines. The outer grey rock is limestone.


On an early buying trip to the Pueblo, we were introduced to Vince by his cousin, Ephran. We told Vince how much we loved his buffalo but suggested he try to carve larger ones. Later that day he brought a white alabaster buffalo larger than this one. But the bison of septarian has a color closer to to the real bison on the prairie. The raised and rounded eyes are inlaid of Sleeping Beauty turquoise and the sculpture is signed Vince Chavez Zuni NM 08. Grab this one quickly!
