Design & Style

• T-Rex Symbolism: As the “King of the Dinosaurs,” the Tyrannosaurus rex symbolizes strength, dominance, and survival.

• Pewter Detailing: Hand-cast with etched scales, claws, and teeth, the pewter dinosaur brings prehistoric life into modern décor.

• Cobra Jasper Base: Known for its snakelike banding and earthy greens, browns, and creams, Cobra Jasper grounds the figure in natural beauty and geological intrigue.

Geological Background: Cobra Jasper
Cobra Jasper is a multicolored jasper variety distinguished by orbicular and banded patterns that resemble the hood of a cobra snake. Like all jasper, it is a microcrystalline quartz (Mohs hardness ~6.5–7), valued for both durability and intricate designs. Found in India and parts of Africa, Cobra Jasper is often associated with protection, grounding, and balance.

Functional Appeal
Perfect for collectors of dinosaurs, gemstone décor, or pewter figurines. It makes a unique display piece for desks, bookshelves, or curio cabinets, blending natural stone with prehistoric artistry.

Metaphysical Notes
Cobra Jasper is said to provide grounding energy, protection, and a connection to Earth’s cycles. When paired with the T-Rex, the piece resonates with resilience, survival, and primal power.

Care & Maintenance

• Wipe pewter gently with a soft, dry cloth.

• Avoid exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals to preserve both pewter and jasper polish.

• Store or display in a dry space, away from direct sunlight, to protect color vibrancy.
