When we go to Tucson, our first stop is Artifactual, because their carvings and choices of stone are stunning. We jumped at these lepidolite snakes -- the details of the carving and the eyes are just amazing. If I were to keep one, I would wear it on a cord around my neck so I could reach down and feel it and get the calming benefits of lepidolite whenever I felt like it. Never mind the snekky goodness.

All three of these are a wonderful purple, and numbered in order of appearance. They are all about 2" and increase in size; #3 is noticeably bigger. Their weights are 22g, 32g, and 35.7g. Such amazing carvings.
