Alisha just finished carving this Horned Lizard or 'Horny Toad Pendant.' Her original sculpture is pictured in green wax and will be cast in sterling silver and available with an assortment of unique gems set in its back. The Pendant is 1-1/2 long and carefully detailed with spikes, horns and tiny toes. One look at its precious face and you will fall in love.
Choose your gemstone option from the drop down menu. Close up photos will pop up.
This endearing reptile is now endangered but one can occasionally spot them in the deserts or grasslands of Mexico, California and Texas. Their habitat stretches as far up as Canada. They have a flattened and disc like body and camouflage and burying in the sand is their best defense mechanism. When not buried in the sand they bask in the sun and absorb heat like a miniature solar panel. It's many horns and spikes protect its tender belly and when threatened it can also squirt blood from its eyes! How cool is that! They eat a diet of ants containing formic acid. Unfortunately for the horned lizard, the invasive fire ant is decimating many ant species and fire ants to not contain formic acid.
Preorders are welcome with expected delivery by early December.
