Wood agate, a type of chalcedony quartz, is known for its stunning array of colors, swirling patterns, and translucent properties. Carving this material into the form of a hummingbird allows for an intricate depiction of the bird's delicate features, such as its long beak, iridescent feathers, and swift hovering motion. The choice of wood agate adds an organic warmth to the carving and enhances its natural beauty.
