Description
Dendritic Sandstone (Dendrite) Ring | Natural Stone Jewelry. Pre Owned. Value: R2200.
The stone in this ring is not a painting or a fossil and is known as Dendritic Sandstone. This mineral possesses a branch-like structure of the black or brown pyrolusite inclusions found in sandstone.
These inclusions are often made of manganese and/or chlorite. This striking ring is expertly crafted from sandstone embedded with captivating manganese dendrites. Often mistaken for fossilized plants, these natural formations possess a timeless allure, with some being as ancient as actual fossils.
The stone’s unique soft oblong shape is elegantly wrapped in a roped sterling silver setting, creating a truly one-of-a-kind piece. It is not just a piece of jewellery, it is a stunning work of art. The stone is ancient, having been created over millions of years, ensuring its uniqueness and enduring beauty. It is stamped 925 on the inside. Measurements: 2.5cm long x 1.5cm wide.
