On our family adventure, we came across a Russian artist who is simply incredible. His skill is with gem stones and carving... I marveled at his work and giggled at his sense of humor.

So they stand about a foot tall and are delicate precious stones.

I love his round belly and watermelon slice. The name of the piece is In A Sultry Afternoon I. He is made of a quartz body, obsidian eyebrows and sapphire eyes, and towel of jasper. Pool made of agate and trough made of petrified wood and silver. His watermelon slice was made of ruby.

This was a highlight of the pieces from the exceptional gems to the silly nature. From the name of Bosom Pals to the smile the piece creates on anyones face, I was impressed.
