Yes, this certainly is a snake, specifically a rearing cobra, carved from rose quartz...

The head of a roaring tiger, nothing more, nothing less. Just the head, carved from agate. Mind you, the location of the vug (natural hole in a crystal) is very clever.

I love this one! It is being sold as a rabbit, evident by its long ears, however they were clearly not sure what to do with the bottom half. They gave it a long, thick tail like a fox!

Oh my goodness, I love this one because it is so tacky! The Buddha normally has a bobbley style hat on, but in this one they have set rhinestones into polymer clay to form the hat. He is also carved from a particularly gaudy pink to red glass, which is often sold as strawberry quartz.
