Coprolite Earrings, Solid Silver, USA Artist, Poop Agate, Fossil Poop, Great Gift Idea, Natural Stone

This beautiful set of drop earrings are a fine example of coprolite. Coprolite is ancient poop, primarily dinosaur era in origin that was replaced via mineralization and fossilized i.e. turned to stone. Not to worry none of the original poop remains behind, it's all stone now. :) The process is said to take about 10,000 years. Coprolite is often agatized to some extent. It's fun to gift because the stone is beautiful and no one would ever guess it was once poop. You can decide whether to tell them, or not. I cut these stones in lightly domed rounds. The settings and ear wires for these are all solid silver. They measure about 10.5 mm across. 

In the global market we encourage you to shop local by supporting artists and small businesses who cut stones safely and ethically within the U.S.A. All of our stones and fordite are made by us, within our home, in Wisconsin.

Our stones are mirror polished and so there will be reflections in the pictures. We take pictures in direct bright light that simulates what your stone will look like in direct sunlight. Stones look very different in low or artificial light. If it's dark when you receive them you can use the flashlight feature on your smart phone to see what they will look like in daylight. If you are new to semi precious stones please understand that these stones are natural and were found or dug from the earth. These are not faceted altered or manmade stones you see in stores. Natural stones (especially agates) most often have features that would be considered flaws in a faceted stone or manufactured stone. Natural stones can have internal fractures, natural holes or geode areas. If there are features we as professional lapidary artists feel may detract from a stone we do our best to describe them in the listing description and show them in the pictures.We charge based on size and quality of the stone as well as market factors. We don’t dabble in the art of stone cutting. Brain is a full time lapidary artist so if you buy from us you are buying a high quality stone made by an experienced professional artist. We are a legitimate small business licensed as an LLC in Wisconsin. Our business mission is to create happiness through our art.
