Crystal Dolphin Figurines are a world of unmatched beauty from the sea.
Crystal dolphin figurines are a portrayal of the ocean’s most intelligent mammal.
Scores of today’s skillful artists have fashioned their impression of the perfect crystal dolphin figurine. Crystal dolphin figurines have consistently been a favorite to adorn our homes and offices since they started to be produced.
The majority of the crystal dolphin figurines are bottle nose dolphins but there are approximately 57 species of dolphins, most have an elongated beak called a rostrum.
The crystal figurines we admire of the famous Shamu (Orca) “the killer whale” is actually the largest and most powerful of the dolphins, and in the wild fear no other creature. Though very difficult to locate, a few crystal figurines were made of a bottle nose dolphin named Flipper, from the 1964-1968 television series and remade in 1995. The principal reason crystal dolphin figurines are so popular aside from their stunning brilliance and sparkle, is the fact that dolphins have been interacting with humans from the time we have known of their existence.
Although many artist variations of crystal dolphin figurines grace today’s marketplace, during this time man has continued to be the dolphin’s greatest predator. From 1959 to 1972 an estimated nearly five million dolphins died because of man, but today in the Gulf of Mexico alone there are estimated to be at least sixty seven thousand bottlenose dolphins, so they are not endangered.
Several dealers and shops have crystal dolphin figurines portraying their authentic courtship behavior of twisting and nuzzling. There are dazzling crystal figurines of dolphins breaching, that’s when these sleek streamline creatures jump out of the water often as high as 16 feet and land on their back or side with an enormous splash.
When you go to a park like Seaworld, this is what you pay for. Like some of our crystal figurines portray, dolphins live in groups called “pods”, some stylish artist call them families in their trendy impressions. Dolphins navigate by sight and sonar allowing them to go into murky waters in search of live prey; most often they eat nearly one-third their weight each day.
These aquatic creatures breathe air through their blow hole and when under water can hold their breath for up to ten minutes and dive to depths of over one thousand feet. They live an average of
twenty years, but a few have been known to live to be forty years old.
If you are like most crystal figurine collectors, you already have a dolphin or two in your assortment of treasured crystals, if not you need to check out the fascination in this wonderfully alluring world.
Crystal dolphin figurines make appreciated gifts that are treasured for a lifetime.
