The horseshoe crab has existed almost unchanged for 445 million years. That makes them living fossils! Did you also know that their blood is blue and for years has been very valuable in medical research? Fortunately, they have come up with a synthetic alternative which is good news for the horseshoe crab!

These shiny little sand-cast sculptures are created out of old car parts and scrap aluminum collected from garbage dumps in Nicaragua. Using an age-old sand-casting process, the metal is melted down, cast, and then polished to perfection. This recycled horseshoe crab is bound to create a conversation wherever it is displayed. Approximate size: 5-6". Fair trade.
