A pair of dragon turtle figurines hand-carved from natural lepidolite. The soft lavender stone is flecked with fine mica that gives a gentle shimmer under light. Each figure pairs a dragon's head with a steady, patterned turtle shell.
Material: natural lepidolite (hand-carved). Quantity: a pair of 2 dragon turtles (sold only as a pair). Dimensions (each): 70 mm (L) × 45 mm (W) × 33 mm (H). Weight: about 225 g for the pair.
