Smaller Honeycomb Coral Wire Wrapped Pendant

This fossil is an extinct Tabulate coral called Favosites, better known as “honeycomb coral,” that I found on the shores of Lake Erie. This is a smaller size pendant where the fossil’s detail can still be seen. You can see the honeycomb on the top and bottom of the pendant and the main face of the pendant is a cross section. Found outside of Cleveland, it has been cleaned and rubbed with mineral oil, but is presented otherwise unaltered, wrapped in gold plated copper hypoallergenic wire. It comes with a filled gold chain. 

This species of coral has been extinct since the Late Permian period, which was more than 250 million years ago. It was most likely deposited by glaciers.

About my glass and fossil pendants:
For a piece of Lake Erie glass to get so smooth, it must be tossed around in the surf for a minimum of 20-40 years. Some pieces in my collection are hundreds of years old and my fossils are mostly more than 200 million years old. 

These pendants are handmade with pliable wire. I am a learning artist, which means you may observe tiny imperfections. This is why my work is offered at the current price, which is lower than the market value. If your wire gets caught and pulls, I am happy to try and fix it or rewrap it (just reach out). 

Care: If your fossil pendant loses its depth of color, you can carefully rub mineral oil on it with a cotton swab or soak it in mineral oil for a few minutes then wipe clean. The glass pendants can be cleaned with mild soap if they become dirty. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. 

Finding and designing with glass is a wonderful personal outlet for me. If you are neurodivergent (I have ADHD), consider glass finding as a hobby - it’s a dopamine generating treasure hunt. What would make me overjoyed would be to know that you get enjoyment out of what I’ve made. Thank you!
