Handcrafted from Whitby Jet & Sterling Silver In a quiet tribute to one of history’s most overlooked pioneers, this handcrafted book pendant honors the life and legacy of Mary Anning—fossil hunter, geologist, and woman ahead of her time. Carved from authentic Whitby jet, a lignite formed from ancient jurassic forests and steeped in Victorian mourning tradition, the pendant evokes both the deep time Mary Anning uncovered and the societal silence she endured. Its sterling silver findings accompany the jet like a precious volume—symbolic of the knowledge she unearthed but was rarely credited for.
