"Figurine and Silver Spoon"

This small figurine from Mexico is carved from Amethyst, I believe. I claim absolutely no knowledge on the subject, but I was told it was a reproduction of an Olmec original. In any event, I find the violet hues of the stone irresistable, and I've painted this piece a number of times in the past.
