By Bud Standley Milpillas Mine, Cananea District, Sonora, Mexico Perhaps it’s a sea-bird, resting on blue waters; or an angled jawbone; or some other shape in your imagination…this freeform cabinet-sized sculpture was carved by San Diego artist Bud Standley from mixed copper carbonates from a famous Mexican copper mining region. The malachite varies from light green to greenish black, and has been left as a velvety druse on part of the piece; the azurite varies from bright blue to light violetish blue, and occurs in streaks and veins. Measures 6 x 3 ½ x ¾ inches (15 x 8 ½ x 1 ½ cm)
