Cute carved Malachite alligator with lots of detail. The Alligator weights about 35 gm, 175 carats, and is 3" by 7/8" by 1/4."

Living in Arizona has many advantages including several gem shows. Over the years I bought a number of carved Malachite animals from the African dealers. 

More of these Malachite carving will be listed time allowing.
