Sculpture & Aesthetics
A dragon skull is the sort of thing we would happily rearrange a shelf for. There’s something irresistible about seeing an imagined creature given teeth, eye sockets, and a jaw you can follow with your fingers. You start wondering about the rest of it—how large it might have been, what those horns would have looked like on a living animal. A good skull leaves you with a creature to imagine.
That is what we enjoy working on: the long, low profile, the sweep of the horns, the plates around the eyes. We pay attention to how these parts fit together, so the head feels convincing from the side as well as the front. Deep recesses give the polished stone places to fall into shadow, while its natural markings run through the face. It has the satisfying strangeness of something you might hope to find in a very unusual natural history collection.
Dragon Blood Stone
Dragon Bloodstone is an approved lapidary trade name rather than a formally defined mineral variety. Material sold under this name can vary in composition and should not be equated with traditional Bloodstone or Heliotrope; its identity and physical parameters remain unverified for this material.
I believe in Dragon Bloodstone’s energy of strength, vitality, and courage. I would choose it for the days when a project feels bigger than I am, as an expression of my resolve to meet it and keep going.

Natural Variation & Care
Natural veils, inclusions and variations in color are part of the material’s character. Appearance may vary with lighting and screen settings.
Until the material is tested, clean only with a soft cloth and a small amount of water. Avoid hard impacts, strong acids, alkaline cleaners, and prolonged soaking.
Take particular care around the horns, crest points, teeth, and lateral plates; support the sculpture from its solid base rather than lifting it by projecting details.
