Star fossil, crinoid cuddy bead reversible pendant
A St.Cuthbert bead fossil necklace set in sterling silver.
The star and details are so beautiful on both sides of this crinoid that it is set so it can be worn either way.
This fossil, locally known here in Northumberland as a ‘cuddy bead’ is a fossilised segment of a crinoid sea lily which is a plant like animal in the same family as the starfish which explains the central star cavity.
This fossil is ~300 million years old!
This fossil measures 11.7mm high, 10mm wide and 7mm deep.
It hangs 19mm from the medium weight 18" sterling silver belcher chain.
