Morrisonite is named for explorer/prospector James Morrison who for fifty years made his home in Owyhee River Canyon, Idaho.  It’s warm colors and orb patterns make this Jasper a real gem.  This 2.25″ high and is 1.5″ wide pendant is made of tarnish resistant Argentium Sterling Silver.

Some time around 150 million years ago, a dinosaur finished it’s life here on Earth.  Subsequent covering of sediment and millions of years of heat, cooling, moisture, dryness and pressure enabled the cells of the dinosaur’s bones to empty while ground water brought minerals from the surrounding area to fill those cells with stone.  The result is this gem grade dinosaur bone which I’ve hand worked and set in hand hammered and smithed tarnish resistant Argentium Sterling Silver.  This miracle of natural science pendant is 1.5″ high and 1″ wide.  I purchased this bone last spring on our travels through Utah, which is a Dino Bone hotspot.  Dino Bone is found in a layer of Late Jurassic sedimentary rock in the Earth’s crust called the Morrison Formation.

The bottom stone of this unusual abstract pendant is Green Zebra Stone and the top is a self collected Moonstone from Pennsylvania.  Measuring 3″ high and 1.5″ wide, this original hand created pendant is made of tarnish resistant Argentium Sterling Silver.
