This amazing corn maiden is carved out of gaspeite, which is a relatively rare mineral, found only in a few localities (Canada, Australia) and was discovered in 1966. Its light green, almost apple green color is quite unique and some varieties are almost a neon green. It may contain brownish patches which may give it a distinctive character. Gaspeite is found around nickel sulfide deposits and is named for the locality of Gaspe Peninsula, Quebec, Canada where it was originally found.
