Gembone can also be called Agatized fossils. This name gives a much more clear depiction of what it is exactly. This gem bone is a product of fossilized bone of dinosaurs in which the cellular construction has been reinstated with quartz, upholding the bone structure intact. Given its link to fossils, it is a stone that is known to help wearers connect with their past, whether they're looking towards childhood or past lives this stone can help.
So these stones are the first in a series. I won't work on the series in sequence but they will all be linked by their origins. A friend of mine, in his 40s or 50s, introduced me to his grandmother, in her 80s or 90s, and she showed me a collection of stones that her father had cut. He was a lapidary and silversmith and she still had so many of his pieces. She was willing to let me go through them and pick out a few to buy. I saw this set of three gembones of course I had to jump on them. I knew it would make the most amazing set. I didn't know if I wanted to do earrings and a necklace, a statement bracelet with all three, or a compound pendant.
Obviously, I ended up settling on earrings and pendant. Before I put the red and grey ornamentation on I was really leaning towards compound pendant. But I wanted to try to embellish the bezels first and see what I thought of that. Once I saw the way that this pendant looked when it was finished I knew it was done. It didn't need the other two stones to be complete! Don't you agree?
