Pendant is fossilized ammonite and is about 1.75" high. You need to _click_ on the image to see it properly. They went extinct in the cretaceous, about the same time as the dinosaurs. Sometimes the colors are amazing. These are even more vivid in life.




This is what they looked like in the cretaceous.






I've almost finished carving the kangaroo standing on the Ethiopian opal and also a very vivid nephrite jade with a tropical flower.

It's being a particularly good time to carve.

I have a lot to work on right now.
