Australian Print Stone Jasper Eagle 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 extra large, hand carved eagle is 6 inches tall, about 3.5 inches wide and 3.25 inches thick. This material is smooth but does not take a glossy polish. The Eagle is the guardian of the sky. He is a symbol of loyalty, great integrity, and power. Shipping terms: I am always happy to combine shipping. Ebay customers-for accurate combined billing, please wait for my invoice!
