Dinosaur Bone Grotto Earrings I

Dinosaur Bone, Yellow Bronze
2" H x 5/8" Wide
- one-of-a-kind stone earrings
- earring posts and backs are sterling silver

Striking tongue-shaped fossilized dinosaur bone stones dangle from hand-carved yellow bronze post earrings. The carving style is organic and flowing, reminiscent of hidden caves with melting walls and interconnected chambers—where stalactite and stalagmite formations meet and fuse in time-constructed flowstone draperies, pillars, and columns.

These are solid and unusual earrings with a distinctive style. The stones exhibit exceptional color and pattern, rusty blood red with pyrite-colored veining. Fossils are often formed through pseudomorphic replacement, wherein mineral matter takes over the remains of living organisms, and another gradually replaces one mineral or material. Over time, these minerals replace and fill the bone's structure, preserving the exquisite grain patterns and organic structures that make them captivating.

Each stone is one-of-a-kind, with distinctive colors, patterns, shapes, and textures. Stones can break if dropped or hit against a hard surface, so this unique, natural material must be handled with care.
