Hello, I am a new member from California and Dan suggested I ask anyone here if they know the value of a carved Malachite Indian Head, I found buried in the sand at La Conchita beach about 20 years ago. Its 6 inches from chin to top of head & 5.5 inches from nose to back of hair.

Thanks, Geo

You might try talking to someone at a nearby university like an archeologist to first find out it's origin and maybe they can help you determine value.
