Bedrock's Bounty

This endless theme of color and patterns interwoven into a visual fantasy of delight, are the result of the cold water deposition of calcium carbonate saturated with iron in the oxidized (red) and reduced (green) state. Mined in the Himalayas and then turned on a lathe,  into various shapes by skilled Artisans in Pakistan.   Each piece contains beautiful striations of rust, sunburst, citrus, celery and other wonderful Hues.

These late Mesozoic marine fossils, 240 million years old, lived in the Tethys Sea between the colliding sub-continent of Pakistan-India and Asia. The Matrix that cements the fossil together is fragrements of other fossils broken up in the surf prior to its lithification into limestone. The circular fossils with internal radiating dividers are corral. The chambered fossils are snails. The arcuate fossils are the Cross-sections of clams. Each piece graciously gives us a piece of Earth's history.
