I bought this Serpentine rock specimen on my first trip to Mount Shasta in 2018, at the time I was looking for some crystals to bring back with me for memories.

Sometime in the last year I recognized it as a bird head profile and brought it into my workroom. It wasn’t until Covid-19 stay at home orders I re-discovered this interesting rock and gave it more of a personality.

My transformation process starts with sorting through my inventory of semi-precious chips and cabochons until I find what I feel is right for each piece.

For the “eyebrow” I used a small strip of black Tourmaline. The eye is a teardrop shaped black Onyx cabochon. These are the only additions I made to this rock.
