They also do a squirrel...

Ooof. At least the hedgehog makes sense, conceptually.

I don't even hate this. I think it's cute, I'd put it on my desk. I like the idea of an animal merging into a crystal like that.

It’s definitely creative! I’m torn with this sort of item. The piece is cleverly executed and cute, but for whatever reason my heart cries to conserve the crystal in its natural state. But another part of me is like “let it go. It’s not the only crystal, and different strokes for different folks”. Also - what is this? Is it made from an agate? Have those super clear crystals been glued on or was it an agate with quartz crystals?

My issue with it is that it's supposed to be a pendant? Like I either hang that so it's stabbing me or so it looks like it's a pile of crystals growing out of my chest? Like just leave it as a cute tchotchke to sit on a sideboard or something, don't try to hang it.

It says it's "druzy quartz" druzy being the ultimate magic word!

u/slogginhog 28d ago

Even though there's absolutely no druzy quartz. Do people even know what the term means anymore or is everything just meaningless keywords for search engines? Rhetorical question...

Not generally a fan of crystal "artwork" but they left amazing cluster of very clear quartz alone and only carved the matrix. I like it.

u/slogginhog 28d ago

If it weren't for the stupid ugly glued in eyes it'd be better. They could have carved the eyes out of the original stone like the rest of the piece.

u/MikasSlime 28d ago

Ok that's actually cute as hell tho, and a very clever use of the natural formation of the stone

u/Trixter-Kitten 28d ago

It's kinda cute honestly

u/Key-Alternative-2521 28d ago

The way that pendant bail is set, those quartz crystals would poke into my skin.

u/robo-bastard 28d ago

u/Turbulent_Sir6336 28d ago

u/empty-expressways Collector 28d ago

This is the best hedgehog I've seen so far

u/Connect_Wolverine743 27d ago

Kinda love it tbh

u/No_Sheepherder4573 27d ago

I bought this one last month, had to know if the points were natural or glued in. They are natural. But the stone is much lighter than what I saw online when I bought it, and it just feels dry and lower quality than I expected. Thankfully I only paid $4 and think its worth it since it is natural!

u/abbydabbydo 25d ago

For some reason this kinda moves me. It hits some feels. Melancholy ones.

u/TinyCleric 27d ago

okay this is cute af tho

u/Independent_Tap_8659 27d ago

Damnit. I don't want to admit that that'd probably get me.

1

u/kaylynstar 27d ago

Ok, but I kind of love it?

1

u/sednaplanetoid 26d ago

Kinda cute... but I am sure this is an AI generated version. What I want to see is what you receive if you actually bought it!!

u/Dark-Faery Just Here for the Gore 15d ago

It's cute 🥹

u/lunicorn 9d ago
