    Blue-green gem silica chrysocolla is the medium for this carving depicting a tropical fish in this small cabinet display piece. Two faceted rubies form the eyes, gold vermeil silver suggests his kelp environment which rises from the "sea floor" suggested by the slab of polished light blue Andean opal from Peru.
