Unique Removable Hummingbird Design

The handcarved Sugilite hummingbird is removable from the mineral base. Its beak fits into the centre of the Mangano Calcite flower, providing the support that creates the appearance of the bird hovering naturally above the flower.

This clever arrangement allows the hummingbird to be lifted away from the base for closer examination of its intricate carving and beautiful Sugilite colouring.

When displaying the sculpture, carefully position the hummingbird's beak into the flower to recreate the floating effect shown in the photographs.
