Classic Ammonite Bolo Tie. Fossil Stone Bola Leather Lariat Necklace
$ 79.00
About 240 million years ago, during the Cretaceous period, a massive ocean covered what is now Madagascar - teeming with life and ammonites! Over time, they passed on, and their shells were fossilized. Now we can find these fossils preserved in sedimentary rock.
- One bolo tie
- Mirror-polished Ammonite half averages approx. ~2" at its largest. We use the largest we can find appropriate for the bolo tie size
- Stone color choice: Choose NEW: "Multicolor mix", mid-brown tones, darker brown tones, light cream+beige tones, or honey tones
- The new "Multicolor mix" option is hard to say what a dominant color is - the specimens often have a differing mix of shades of calcite and sediment-filled chambers
- Slide clip on the back for easy adjustment
- Total length with tips: about 38 inches
- Choose warm brown or black leather cord: sturdy 5mm REAL leather braided cord. Not "vegan"/faux "leather"! It will soften up over time and use.
- 2 inch silver-tone tapered cord tips with decorative embossing
- Handmade by us in our Detroit Michigan studio! Please allow for slight variations in color, shape and size of the stones. Each fossil is unique!
- Each is securely attached to the bolo hardware with aircraft grade, jeweler's cement bonding
- The reverse side of the stone is coated in resin to act as a "bumper" to prevent damage while wearing or if dropped - and to further secure the hardware
- Gift box included.
What is an ammonite? Ammonites were predatory mollusks that resembled a squid with a shell. These cephalopods had eyes, tentacles, and spiral shells. They are more closely related to a living octopus, though the shells resemble that of a nautilus.
