Fossil Coral Triangle Pendant Necklace

Over millions of years, fossilized skeletons of prehistoric coral slowly develop into agate. Those skeletons commonly appear as tiny flower patterns like the ones in this pendant. This earth-toned triangle-shaped fossil coral is set in a fine silver bezel on a darkened background surrounded by a sterling silver frame. The pendant (with bail) measures 2-1/4" tall and 2-1/4" wide. It hangs from a double strand of sterling silver chain in your choice of length. All metal is sterling silver (except fine silver bezel) that has been oxidized, tumble polished and sealed with a protective coating. Fossil coral is a natural gemstone that is created when prehistoric coral is gradually replaced with agate. The fossil coral forms through hardened deposits left by silica-rich waters. The entire process can take over 20 million years. Most fossil coral is found in Indonesia and the USA (in Florida and Georgia).  Care:  As with all handmade jewelry, this necklace is delicate and should never be worn
