Always open for pyo commissions, repairs and fine artwork! Email me for current prices! awier(@)weaselsoneasels.comSome emerald dragons were mistakenly given orange eyes instead of red. It’s a mistake piece, not one that was done on purpose, so there would be no COA. Some folks on this forum have extensive emerald with orange eye collections! 🙂
I don’t think it’s worth that price though.
Yeah I think the seller would be lucky to get $100 for that dragon. You can get one of a kind and grab bag pieces for less than what they are asking so even if the eyes are harder to find, it’s still a production piece.
Looking for rainbow or pink & teal grab bags!
What’s hilarious is that another one was just listed with a starting price of $40.
What is funny was the fact that the seller had it up earlier for a normal auction with a reserve price, but the bidding only brought it up to $61 and the seller refused to sell it and now it was put back up for that ridiculous amount.
Looking for-
red fire young dragon
old animal line frog, wolf, barn owl, tortoise, tiger cubWhat’s hilarious is that another one was just listed with a starting price of $40.
It looks like that one is painted in Old Green and those dragons did have orange eyes. The super-expensive listing is a “mistake piece” – an Emerald with orange eyes instead of the usual red.
You could be right about the color. It’s almost impossible to see a difference in the green on my monitor, but if I look close I can see a couple blue scales on the cheaper one.

Ah, the interesting thing about this is that back before there were a lot of unique pieces… such as grab bags, etc, and Windstone was not releasing a lot of special stuff… the rare, mistake dragons were so much more valuable because almost everything else was normal production! Things like “jade” scratches, orange-eyed emeralds, a few other mistakes on normal production pieces.. THOSE were the really rare and coveted pieces. I can remember a time when this young dragon would easily draw more than $100…
(Though the price tag currently listed is probably a bit unrealistic, even for back then)

My art: featherdust.comThough uncommon, since orange-eyed Emeralds are mistakes, I don’t think this dragon is worth this seller’s starting bid amount of $299, let alone $599.
I recently purchased an Orange-eyed Emerald Young with light yellow crystal this past December. I paid just over $150 for her, and she’s quite spectacular.

We didn’t make all of the family members with those eye and jewel colors before the eyes and jewels were changed to red.
(Please don’t ask me which styles we did that way – no one was keeping records of that at the time and I do not know. :~ Someone else – like maybe Pam – may have observed which styles were done with orange eyes and jonquil jewels. )

Thanks, Susie, for clarifying this once and for all.
Life is beautiful.
I have only seen the mother, male, emp, young, and I think the hatching dragon in emerald with orange eyes. I think at the time emerald came out, there weren’t any other dragons in production?
I have an old catalog flyer with a 1997 copyright date on it and it has an orange-eyed emerald family (emperor, male, young, mother and hatchling) pictured, but it also has red-eyed emerald fledgeling, scratcher, coiled and royal hatchers on it.
Sometimes our catalogs were not 100% accurate! As I recall, that eye color change took place and those of us in the office didn’t know about it until a dealer called to complain that their new Emerald dragons had a different color eyes from the ones they had on the shelf.
Ah, so orange was purposely the original color for emerald dragons’ eyes? When I joined up here on the forum and posted pics of my dragons, someone pointed out my orange-eyed emerald mother and told me the emeralds were all supposed to have red eyes and that an unknown number accidentally left the factory with the orange eyes.
Before that, I had no idea they were somewhat rare. She was my first Windstone I ever bought, back in the 90s at a store. I’m curious as to how much I’d get if I sold her, but it doesn’t matter since I won’t. She has a few little nicks/chips, too.Formerly had the Batman & Joker avatar!
