The green sea turtle, honu, is a majestic creature that has been swimming the oceans for millions of years. Honu are an important part of the Hawaiian ecosystem and help to keep the coral reefs healthy. They are also a part of Hawaiian culture and were thought to be family deities in ancient times. Today, honu are endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and overfishing. However, they are still a popular sight for divers and snorkelers who are interested in these gentle giants.

These stunning marble turtles are individually and carefully hand-carved by local Ecuadorian craftsmen using Fair Trade standards. The craftsmen have been perfecting their skills carving decorative marble gifts inspired by their local marine life since the 1930s.
