How to use it
As a large carving, this elephant works best as a stationary display piece — a desk, shelf, or entryway table where it can be a focal point. Many people place elephant carvings facing the entrance of a room, in keeping with the tradition of welcoming good fortune inward. Given its size and weight, it also works well as an anchor piece in a broader crystal or carving collection.
Care & cleansing
Wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Tiger's eye can handle a brief rinse, but avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged soaking, and handle the carving carefully — its trunk and ears are the most delicate points and can chip if knocked. A stable, padded surface helps protect it from accidental bumps during dusting.
