Bird with drops of Zircon Necklace
A sterling silver bird clings to the necklace, upside down. From its beak hands four drops of faceted blue zircon.
I bought these gemstones as a direct result of learning about how incredibly old they are and how they are used to date the earth when they hold particles of uranium.
They have been called “the most reliable natural chronometer that we have when we want to look at the earliest part of Earth history.” by Geology professor, Dr Paul Mueller.
