Ok, this piece is too cool! This is a realistically carved toad (or frog!), crafted from a piece of a solid, natural green stone. After reaching out to the studio of the original artist, they believe it is carved from natural chrysoprase. Since it has not been tested, I am listing it as a “green stone.” It is a natural material! It has glass eyes to add to the realism, and is set in sterling silver with a large loop that is perfect for any chain you want to slide it on! It is a true statement piece and a real work of art! When you're not wearing it out, it's also such a fun sculpture to display in your home! 

It is a piece by the fabulous jewelry designer Amy Kahn Russell and has her maker's mark on the back.
