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

This is a very cool carving I thought, old or not. Thanks for posting it up, I'm sure lots of folks will enjoy seeing that. Someone put many hours of work into that piece. I like the way the bands of formation play into the shape of the carving too.......TOO COOL! I moved this topic on into the "discoveries discussion" section too.
