Product Overview
The Tree of Life represents a diverse and rich collection of stories and traditions, traversing religious and cultural boundaries. Colors may vary due to natural variation in fossilized ivory, due to minerals in the soil.
The brilliant rainbow moonstones sparkle in the curly branches of this enchanting Tree of Life pendant. The sturdy trunk of the tree is hand carved from fossilized walrus ivory, which is from an island in the Bering Sea called St. Lawrence Island. The native Yupik have exclusive rights to gather and sell this finite material, which is an important part of their local economy and is valued world-wide for its use in fine jewelry. Fossilized walrus ivory takes on a range of tones from cream to deep cocoa, depending on the minerals surrounding it in the soil.
