Erris was crafted from a thick branch of cedar, originally meant to be a post in a barb wire fence. I carved away all the outer sap wood and shaped the wand from the darker heartwood. The cedar was very solid and hard, requiring two days of grinding to clear down to the core. A dark orange round jasper cabochon was a natural fit. Tiny swirls of silica and quartz twist just below the surface of the stone like the roiling face of a tiny cold sun. 16 inches.
