Jet nuggets in assorted sizes from 5–15mm, strung on a 16-inch strand — genuine jet, the organic gemstone formed from ancient wood, in raw, irregular shapes that carry real visual weight.

Deep, matte-to-waxy black with the natural variation you'd expect from an organic material: no two nuggets are identical in shape or surface sheen.

Description

Jet is one of only five organic (once living) gemstones recognized by the International Commission of Colored Gemstone (CIBJO), the other four are Ammolite, Amber, Pearl and Coral. Jet is a form of lignite coal, which is the result of high pressure decomposition of wood from the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. It is similar in weight, warmth and feel to Amber, and was in fact, once believed to be Black Amber. Jet jewelry has been found dating as far back as 17,000 BC. It was popular in Roman times, in the Victorian era, as well as in the 1920's. Jet is attributed numerous healing and protective properties including protection from the evil eye and strengthening psychic awareness through the first chakra. Jet becomes electronically charged when rubbed against silk or wool, and smells of coal when touched with a burning hot needle.
