Description
This piece is truly special... Modern industrial design collides with ancient terrestrial life in this wire-wrapped trilobite fossil pendant. This ancient Elrathia kingii (species) trilobite fossil was extracted this from a mortality plate; a slice of shale, in which multiple organisms perished, nearly half a billion years ago. Trilobites were among the earliest animals to appear on Earth and now you can wear this exquisite piece of natural history, and carry it with you, wherever you go.
The fossil was wrapped in solid Sterling silver wire and four gem-quality, faceted, aquamarine beads were strung directly on the base wire and set in place with herringbone weaves. The wire was oxidized naturally with egg yolk and sealed with clear lacquer to protect the finish and aged appearance of the piece. Luscious, silver coils and weaves frame the fossil in this modern piece of wearable art! The entire pendant, base to bail, measures 52x34x16mm (2.0" x 1.3" x 0.6") and comes suspended on an 18" Sterling silver chain.
The original mortality plate from which this fossil was extracted, came from the Wheeler Shale, located in Millard County, near Antelope Springs, Utah. Trilobites disappeared from the face of the Earth in a mass extinction that occurred approximately 250 million years, just prior to the rise of the earliest dinosaurs in the fossil record. Trilobites evolved on Earth approximately 540 million years ago. Unlike most fossils of it's kind, the "cheeks" on this fossil remain intact.
Your one-of-a-kind pendant will arrive in a lovely gift box with an information card about the fossil, packaged securely in a bubble envelope and ship with international tracking and insurance included for added peace of mind. There will never be another piece like this!
