The Poison Arrow Frog
Lapis Lazuli and Citrine on a Quartz base
3x3x3
2002
Artist's notes: "The Poison Arrow Frog", is carved from high quality Lapis Lazuli, the birthstone for September.
Its eyes are faceted citrine, the birthstone for November. The base is a quarz specimen that I found in the
Jack-fish River, North of Lake Nipigon.

| Poison Arrow frogs are highly toxic. Their brilliant colours serve as a warning to potential predators to "stay away". Indigenous Embera' people, of Columbia, use its venom on the tips of their blow-gun darts when hunting. |
