A little carved turtle in shades of green makes a charming focal piece. These gemstone cabochons come in two sizes, small at about 39 by 22 millimeters and large at about 40 by 58 millimeters, so you can match the scale to a pendant, a keepsake box or a display.
Choose from green agate, deep green emerald, or mystic green titanium druzy with a glittering metallic finish. Turtles are a favorite with beach lovers, ocean conservation fans and collectors of animal carvings, which makes this an easy gift. Use it for wire wrapping, jewelry settings, terrariums, fairy gardens or a spot on your desk.
Agate is a banded, microcrystalline form of quartz that takes dye well. Emerald is the green variety of beryl, colored by chromium or vanadium, and nearly always shows natural inclusions. Titanium druzy is sparkly crystal coated with a thin metallic film applied by vapor deposition.
How big is the large turtle? About 40 by 58 millimeters.
Is the emerald clear? No, these emeralds are opaque to translucent with natural inclusions, suited to carving rather than faceting.
Is the green agate dyed? Bright green agate is usually dyed; natural agate tends toward grays, tans and creams.
