More From North Dakota - Coal Figurines

Day 301.
More From North Dakota - Coal Figurines

When I was little I remember taking a trip to tour a coal mine and returning with a souvenir...my very own piece of coal (I guess I wasn't taking any chances with Santa that year). Nobody was ever more excited to own a piece of coal than I was that day. However, I also remember my mother returning with a beautifully carved coal statue of an eagle. It was lovely! I was reminded of that when I discovered these beautiful coal figurines made from North Dakota lignite coal and crafted by an artist in Beulah, North Dakota...

Absolutely exquisite and such an unexpected medium!

Good luck Laura Harmon!
