A large, lifelike Gecko made of Serpentine Jade from Peru. Detailed sculpture with precise skin texturing, suitable as a garden or indoor object.

Serpentine (Mg,Fe)₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄ is considered a jade material in the South American sculpting tradition. Its mint green to dark green color is a characteristic of its crystal structure and offers a calm, natural appearance.

Peruvian sculpting workshops have developed their own tradition in animal sculpture. The detailed skin texturing of the gecko demonstrates craftsmanship at a collector's level.

A collector's item in a generous format, suitable for garden staging or reception areas. The Mohs hardness of 4 requires protection from heavy use.
