Mumbai, India (CNS) – A Michael Jackson statue made from 12-feet, 3.5 ton single black granite will be donated to the late music icon’s Neverland Valley Ranch in Santa Barbara, California, according to recent reports.
The creators of the statue, Chennai, India-based granite firm RC Golden Granites, wrote to the Jackson family to present their gift. They reportedly also offered to pay for the freight charges from India to U.S.
The statue was reportedly sculpted out of a single rock from Kanakapura mines by six craftsmen in 45 days. It has been displayed at Stona 2010: Ninth International Granites and Stone Fair from February 4 to 7 in Bangalore.

Michael Jackson’s doctor is reported to be planning to surrender to police in Los Angeles tomorrow morning, when it is expected he will be charged over the singer’s death.
According to reports, Dr Conrad Murray will turn himself into police before he is taken to court near Los Angeles international airport to face a judge.
Prosecutors have declined to say whether they will charge Dr Murray, but sources have told news agencies including the celebrity website tmz.com and the Associated Press that prosecutors plan to charge the doctor with involuntary manslaughter.
Dr Conrad Murray flew to Los Angeles from his practice in Houston, Texas, last weekend in the expectation that he will be charged imminently over Jackson’s death last June from an overdose of anaesthetics.
Police sources say Dr Murray is likely to be charged with involuntary manslaughter, which carries a maximum four-year prison sentence.
Michael Jackson, 50, died after Dr Murray gave him propofol, a powerful painkiller, and two other sedatives to help him sleep. The local coroner’s office ruled the death a homicide.
Propofol, usually given before surgery, is supposed to be administered by a professional anaesthetist in a medical environment.
