In stock
This striking 4-inch dragon head sculpture is hand-carved from natural green aventurine, a variety of quartz prized for its shimmering translucence and gentle sparkle. Each dragon is shaped with precision, highlighting aventurine’s unique mica inclusions that create its subtle “aventurescence.” The polished finish enhances depth and texture, bringing the dragon’s expression vividly to life.
Aventurine is a microcrystalline quartz (a member of the chalcedony family) known for its reflective inclusions—most often fuchsite mica, which gives green aventurine its distinctive shimmer. It forms in metamorphic environments where silica and mica interact under heat and pressure, producing stone that embodies both toughness and luminous beauty.

The fusion of these two symbols—a dragon carved in aventurine—embodies both strength and abundance, making this sculpture deeply meaningful across traditions.
