Vintage Michigan Handcarved Petoskey Stone (Fossil Coral) Turtle Figurine

Description

I combine shipping on multiple auctions, so if you're a collector, bid on everything to get an even better deal, and then bid again on each piece for good measure!
Why I am selling this: My mother no longer wants this, and while I like it, I think someone else might like it more.
Description: This is a carved figurine formerly belonging to my mother.  She purchased this in Michigan, which is where Petoskey stone comes from.  It is apparently a fossil formation of the rugose coral
Hexagonaria percarinata
.  The beautiful formations do mimic the scutes of a turtle's shell, so it works very well.  This turtle has a diamond-shaped head and three toes on each foot.  The shell and body are two distinct pieces of Petoskey stone that have been glued one atop the other.  The underside is completely smooth and contains the same patterns, since this is a natural material.
This figurine has no defects.
Specifications: 2 1/4" across, 1 3/8" thick, 3/8" tall, 24.8g
