When the trees died, rivers carried them into the ocean, and they became driftwood.A species of marine clam that loved to eat wood lived in the Australian sea.The clam larvae could smell the driftwood and swim to it. They would attach themselves to it and start eating, They shaved off tiny particles of wood using the sharp edges of their shell as a rasp. In a few weeks they would excavate a deep tunnel into the soft, mushy wood.Dissolved silica precipitated into the bore holes in the wood and replaced the woody tissues, converting the waterlogged wood into fossils (petrified wood).The delicate glossy cabochons are as thin as a dime for lighter weight. They are translucent when held up to light.The sparkling accent gemstones are genuine Garnet.The silver has a sleek polished finish.Light weight is kind to your ears.Latching leverback wires help to keep them safely in place for you.Length from the top of the wires: 1 3/4"Size of the gems in the frames: 15 x 16mmWeight for the pair: 2.8gHallmark: .925The earrings in the photos are the exact earrings you will receive.Thank you for visiting our shop.
