OAMARU STONE
Oamaru
Stone is sandsized bryozoan fragments, with vast numbers of
microfossils from shells and sometimes penguin, whale or sharks
teeth formed from the ocean bed 40 millions years ago. It is known
to geologists as Totara Limestone. The sturdiness of the stone can
be used to build long lasting buildings or the artist handcarves the
stone into a beautiful formation.
The Stone carefully chosen
from Oamaru in the South Island of New Zealand is journeyed across
the country to our gallery to create a beautiful formation for
someone special to enjoy.
Withstanding many more weather
conditions allows the stone to be indoors or outdoors. Each piece
has been sealed with water repellent silicone.
Any dirty marks
can be wiped off with water and softcloth. Every five to seven years
it can be resealed to continue protecting the sculpture. |
