4.15" Carved Green Banded Calcite Frog - Pakistan
This is a beautiful polished frog sculpture carved from a kind of calcite often (incorrectly) marketed as Pakistan green onyx. The stone varies from pale to deep olive green and has white and red banding throughout. This little guy measures 4.15 inches long, and shows off the beautiful green and red banding found in this stone. This adorable little is sure to bring a smile to your face!
Pakistan Green Onyx
Despite its name, Pakistan green onyx is not a true onyx, but a colorful variety of green banded calcite. Its deep color, reddish striations, translucency, and softness make it one of the world's most popular stones for interior stonework, decorative carvings, and lapidary work.
