Warthog Labradorite Stone Carving

This hand carved Labradorite warthog figurine gemstone carving is 4 inches long by 2.4 inches tall and 1 inch thick.

The common warthog, made famous by the Disney character Pumba, is a wild member of the pig family found in grassland, savanna, and woodland in sub-Saharan Africa.

Semiprecious gemstone Labradorite has a background color of dark gray, but displays a beautiful iridescence, giving off rainbow-colored reflections known as labradorescence when light hits it in certain directions.

Labradorite is a feldspar and it shows the iridescent display of colors due to minute inclusions of another mineral.

It is named after where it was first found: Labrador, Canada, although our gemstone material comes from Madagascar.

Metaphysical Properties:  Labradorite is thought by some to symbolize the moon and the sun. It is said to assist the wearer to handle changes, promoting strength and perseverance.
