This listing is for a 1 pound bag of random, mixed size Louisiana alligator gar (Atractosteus spatula) scales.
The alligator gar is a prehistoric fish that resembles an alligator. Two rows of teeth line their jaws.
The listing photos are generic photos we took of some of our gar scales. The dollar bill, not included, is there to give you an idea of the size. We do not dye our scales or clean them with bleach. We allow bugs to break them down before boiling them and soaking them in peroxide. we then sundry them. Some scales may be a beautiful white, while others may be darker or have slight stains or imperfections. You can find directions online for dying them any color you like.
People make some cool things with these (flowers, earrings, and necklaces for example) or simply add them to their oddities collection.
We do not offer cancellations on any orders. We are a very busy small business and it wastes our time. If you’re not certain you want an item, don’t purchase it. Thanks.
We ship orders on Mondays.
