Canoes are cut from the stones
onyx and sardonyx. This stone is
preferred for canoes because of its
hardness and durability and is suit
able for such work, owing to the fact
that it comes in layers oil contrast
ing colors, as black and white, black
and cream or red and white. When
the cut figure is sunk into the stone
instead of being raised the cutting
is called an intaglio. The cost of
these gems is due to the time and
skill required in the work. Former
ly small gem might occupy an art
list for year or more, but with mod
ern appliances the work can be done
more rapidly.
