Green Talan Barrel Cactus Sculpture with Gray Caliche Area

Bring a touch of desert whimsy to your patio or garden with this one-of-a-kind Green Talan Onyx Barrel Cactus Sculpture, a hand-carved cactus in pale sage and cream green with a striking area of gray caliche crystal across one side and a crown of carved blossoms on top. Measuring 19 inches tall and 17 inches across at roughly 400 pounds, every rib and spine is cut by hand, and the contrast between the smooth green ribs and the rough gray crystal gives the piece two personalities depending on where you stand. The sculpture in the photos is the exact piece that will arrive at your home.

Green Talan Onyx is a banded Mexican onyx colored by traces of iron, and the caliche is a crust of gray calcite that formed on the outside of the stone as the ancient spring dried out. Water brings it to life! As it spills from the crown and runs down the ribs the green deepens to jade and the gray crystal sparkles, and with a light behind it at night the translucent onyx glows. Hand carved from a single block, no two of these cacti are ever alike.

Imagine unwinding after a long day to the gentle sound of water trickling over stone, or welcoming guests to a patio that feels cooler and calmer the moment they step outside. A natural stone fountain is a tranquil oasis and a sculpture in one, beautiful whether the water is running or still, and onyx only ages more gracefully under the Arizona sun. It is the centerpiece your yard has been missing.

This fountain is sold as the stone only and pairs with a below-ground basin, pump, plumbing and installation, which we size to the piece and to your space.
