      Stunning cabochon gemstones and ruby eyes!

      The ball like cabochons work beautifully on the turtle masterpiece, perfection !~

      I'm with them .
      The green cabochons are so beautifully and densely packed.

      Very cool turtle, love the way his fins/flippers are tucked in. Gives the impression he's zooming through the coral reefs. His shell is cool too, very spiky and sharp looking! :)

      Mike thanks so much for your terrific comment & I think he's a pretty cool little guy as well :) I love that unusual shell too, it's a very unique design and that always appeals to me

      Thank you DejaVu for your awesome comment about the pretty stones, Swoboda loved to use green gemstones (jade was a favorite, but peridot too) and in this case a natural choice for a turtle

      Phil thank you for your marvelous praise for this fellow, when I see him I think of sea roe, which is actually perfect for his ocean habitat :)

      Thank you Karen for your fabulous comment and yes isn't the body beautifully different, I almost went with a Swoboda elephant but this guy was quite striking

      Lauren you have painted a lovely image for me of this turtle skimming the coral reefs, thank you for your delightful comment! I too think his little golden flippers are cute & so detailed, and that shell is so pretty
