THIS LISTING IS ONLY FOR A BOLO!
Tear Drop Bolo - 2” x 1¼”
his stone was once a tree. A sycamore, standing in a forest that no longer exists, in a landscape that has since become desert. Over millions of years the wood was replaced molecule by molecule with silica the cellular structure, the growth rings, the grain of the bark all of it preserved in stone with a fidelity that time rarely allows. What remains is not a rock that resembles wood. It is wood. Turned to mineral. Held in silver in Taos.
The slide measures 2” x 1¼” an oval of deep blue-grey petrified sycamore with tight concentric growth rings visible across the entire surface, each one a year of the tree’s life recorded in silica and now readable in the stone as clearly as text on a page. The color is remarkable the cool blue-grey that forms when silica replaces organic material in the presence of iron and trace minerals, a color with depth and quiet iridescence that shifts in different light. The triangle wire bezel surround frames the stone in oxidized .925 sterling silver a geometric detail that contrasts the organic roundness of the oval and the natural complexity of the rings within it.
The black braided cord runs through the slide adjustably, finished with sterling silver tips. It wears with the ease of something that has already outlasted everything around it and is entirely comfortable with that fact.
There maybe Earrings & Pendant available on the Earrings/Pendant page.
