Frog Carving on Black Cord Necklace Stone Gem This one is carved from a Fancy Jasper found in India. Jasper is an ornamental rock composed mostly of chalcedony, microcrystalline quartz, in association with other minerals, which give it colorful bands and patterns. Jasper was a favorite gem in the ancient world, and the name jasper can be traced back in Hebrew, Assyrian, Persian, Greek, and Latin. This hand carved frog is about 1.25 inch long by almost 1 inch wide and more than .25 inch thick. It has lots of detail and is very nice! The mouth area is drilled and it is strung on a black cloth cord that is 26 inches long. It hangs at 13 inches, but is designed with slip knots to be ajustable to whatever length you wish to wear it at!The frog represents healing, cleansing, health, and honesty. In myths they are bringers of rain or thunder, calling the water down with their croaking. In Ancient China toads were a symbol of longevity, and they were associated with Liu Hai, the God of wealth. In Rome, the frog was believed to bring good luck to the home.
