Australian Print Stone Jasper Pig Hog Rock

Print Stone is a silicated sandstone from Australian. It has a great banded pattern. Printstone is found in the Hamersley Ranges near the iron ore mining town of Tom Price in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Sandstones are clastic in origin (as opposed to organic, like chalk and coal, or chemical, like gypsum and jasper). The formation of sandstone involves two principal stages. First, a layer or layers of sand accumulates as the result of sedimentation, either from water (as in a river, lake, or sea) or from air (as in a desert). Typically, sedimentation occurs by the sand settling out from suspension, i.e. ceasing to be rolled or bounced along the bottom of a body of water (e.g. seas or rivers) or ground surface (e.g. in a desert or sand dune region). Finally, once it has accumulated, the sand becomes sandstone when it is compacted by pressure of overlying deposits and cemented by the precipitation of minerals within the pore spaces between sand grains.

This is a cute handcarved pig. It is 3.5 inches by 1.5 inches and 2 inches tall. This material is smooth but does not take a glossy polish.

The Greek earth fertility goddess, Demeter, kept a sacred pig, which became a symbol of fertility. The pig is also a strong symbol of luck. If you need more luck in financial matters, the pig provides prosperity in abundance. Native American Indians recognize the pig as a symbol of the abundance of daily life, and believe that it teaches us to celebrate life and share it with others.
